Wasted Days- ?
% (Republished by request.)
I i backward look on many days loug t'
spent, h
. , Days wreathed in sunshine, and in
- *$)' lovely flowers,
ilVhen life was young, and I with care- ''
less ease, p
Filled all those days with vain and sel- r<
fish hours. 'A. jc
One day, 1 fain would drive its memory a
from my heart,
ffelay when dimpled arms in fond caress
ntwined my neck, and this mute ap- ?
peal J ti
Told me of want and ijgjprty's distress, y
I turned away this helpless, childish h
face, ?
And gaye not to its wants by word or
deed,
I know not that a loving act that day, o
Would make a joy that I today much j<
need. , .. _
And then a youth unmarked by worldly t|
care j,
Had lost a mother's hand to guide
bis feet.
His honest eyes ,looked frankly into
mine, ? 'y
And asked for guidance to a pure re- j
treat, I
Where earth's temptations came to
him no more, "
Bon thorns of pain to pierce his un- a
tried feet. I
I told to him no story of the bon placed
within his eager, hand
The lamp to guide his orphan steps a
aright, J
Did earthly woes, to our Father's land, e
One day a beggar, cold and bent with 1
? ' .
age I
Came to my door and asked that I j
would give
Out of my bounty, just a meager part,That
he might onward go, that be
might live. . I
I gave no word to cheer the heart so j
sore, i
But closed my selfish home to him and
gave ,
No cup of water to the aged poor, '
And so that the seed poured at my s
very feet, , a
Have lain unsown through many days
and years
And now I have no sheaves of grain to
reap. " a
Nothing 0 heart, but grief and bitter ;
tears.
O little deed that never has been done, ,
O little word that never has been said!
With wasted days, and manv an un- '
t sown seed, , '
| J?ith thoughts of these, the soul can- t
K not be fed- 1
