LEARN A LITTLE EVERY DAY.
Little rills male wider streamlets, Streamlets swell the river’s flow j Rivers join the mountain billow, Onward, onward as they go! Life is made of smallest fragments, Shade and sunshine, work and play ; So may we, with greater profit, Learn a little evety day. Tiny seeds make boundless harvests, Drops of rain compose the showers ; Seconds make the flying minutes, And the minutes make the, hours! Let us hasten then and catch them As they pass us on the way ; And with honest, true endeavour Learn a little every day. Let us read some striking passage, Cull a verse from every page j Here a line, and there a sentence, ’Gainst the lonely time of age ! At our work, or by the wayside, While the sunshine’s making hay ; Thus we may by help of study, Learn a little every day.
