BE CAREFUL
Be careful what you sow, boys! - ' For seed will surely grow, boysl The dew will fall, The rain will splash, The clouds will darken And the sunshine flash; And the boy who sows good seed to-day Shall reap the crop to-morrow. Be careful what you sow, girls 1 For every seed will grow, girls! Though it may fall Where you cannot know, Yet in summer and shade, It will surely grow; And the girl who sows good seed to-day Shall reap the crop to-morrow. Be careful what you sow, boys! For the weeds will surely grow, boys! If you plant bad seed ■ . By the, wayside high You must reap the harvest By-and-bye; And the boy -who sows wild oats to-day Must reap wild oats to-morrow. Then let us sow good seed now ! And not the briars and weeds now! For when the harvest For^us shall come, We may have good sheaves To carry home; For the seed -we 'sow in our lives to-day Shall grow, and bear fruit forever.
