WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO-DAY?

W. shall do so much in the years to come
But what have we done today?
We shall give our gold in prncely sum.
But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear
We shall plant hope in the place Of fear.
We shall speak the words Of love and fear.
But what did we speak today?
We shall be to kind in the after-a-while,
But what have we been today?
We shall bring to each lonely life smile,
But what have we brought today!
We shall give the truth srander birth
And to steadfeet faith deeper worth,
We shall feed the hunsering souls OF earth
But whom have we fed today
We shall reap rich Joys in the by and by,
But what have we sown today
We shall build u, mansions in the sky,
But what have we built today!
It's sweet in idle dreams to bask,
But here and now do we do our task
Yes, this is the thing our soul must ask.
What have we done today?

IN THE YEAR.

Thou ssest but the lowering cloud
mark the silver lining;
hear the happy voices loud
Thou but the sad repinine
Thou scest vice. and Grim: and sin,
The beast still rule the human:
see each century usher in
The nobler man and woman.
Thou hearst the ansuished martyrs cries,
The brutal mobs glad shouting;
see the sodlike human rise
Above all self and doubling,
Thou seest the weak consumed with pain.
The present woe and sorrow;
see til. strong that make the gain,
The happier race tomorrow.
Thou seest the close of all things here.
OF striving and of shining;
see beyond another sphere,
And death new beginning
Cease. friend, to fit thy thoughts tonight.
And gloomy humors scornine,
Come. watch with me the world grow bright,
The night break into morning.
