Giving and Gaining.
We reap in return for our sowing,
And not for mere dreaming of gains;
The winds that are fitfully blowing
Across the wide, bilowy plains
Will bring us no ShiplOadS of treasure,
Unless We have ships to return,
The world gives us measure for measure
And hope for the hopes that we earn.
| The world gives uS joy for enjoyment
That we have the grace to impart:
The heart is soon out of employment
That ceases to gladden. some heart:
The pleasure and profit of living
Are Sweetened bv effort and zeal;
The world gives us gains for our giving,
| And not for the empty appeal.
