ATIENTLY strive to do right ; 

 Sow if you may not reap ; 

 Early and late, with your might, 

 Labour and strive — not weep. 



Fearlessly friend greet, or foe, 

 If but your heart be true — 



Trouble you may have, and woe — 

 Joy's yet in store for you. 



Glimmering bright, aye, or bleak. 

 Life's but a short, short day ; 



To its close be brave, if weak : 

 Striving as best you may. 



Faithfully grasp the strong arm 

 Held out to guide and save ; 



Then — freed from sorrow and harm, 

 Heaven shall be thy grave. 



A NEW YEAR'S WISH. 



To G. M. R. 



E make our own happiness," somebody said, 

 ** And create our sorrows, too ; 

 Bliss on the heels of virtue will tread, 

 And folly will toils renew."
