"WORK."
(By Henry Van Dyke.) Let me but do my work from day to day; In field or forest, at the desk or lodm, In roaring market place or tranquil room. Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes becken me astray: . "This is my work; my blessing, not my doom; Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done, in the right way." • Then shall I see it, not too great, nor small, . To suit my spirit and to prove my powers; Then shall I cheerful greet the labouring hours And cheerful turn when the long shadows fall At to play and love and rest, Because I know lor me my work is best.
