The Power OF Little Things.


The Power OF Little Things.
A traveller on a dusty road
Etrewed acrons on the lea:
And one took root and sprouted up
And grew into a tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time
To breathe its early vows;
And age was pleased, in heights o
noon,
To bask beneath its houghs.
The dormouse loved it's dangling twigs
The birds sweet music bore
1t stood a glory in it's place
II
A little spring has lost its way
Amid the grass and fern:
A passing stranger scooped we'll
Where weary men might turn.
He walled 1t in. and hung with car
A ladle on its brink,
He thought not of the deed he did
But judged that Toll might drink
He passed again; and. 10. the well,
BY summer never dried.
Had cooled ten thousand parchet
tongues,
And saved a life beside.
A nameless man, amid the crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied. from tho heart.
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath.
It raised a brother from the dust.
1t saved a soul from death.
O germ! 0 fount, o word Of love!
o thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last
