Poems with Power to Strengthen the Soul. Various

СКАЧАТЬ reaping with Boaz, I, gleaning with Ruth,

      Are honored by serving, yet servants of all.

      No drudge in his corner but speeds the world's wheels;

      No serf in the field but is sowing God's seed—

      More noble, I think, in the dust though he kneels,

      Than the pauper of wealth, who makes scorn of the deed.

      Is toil but a treadmill? Think not of the grind,

      But think of the grist, what is done and to do,

      The world growing better, more like to God's mind,

      By long, faithful labor of helpers like you.

      The broom or the spade or the shuttle, that plies

      Its own honest task in its own honest way,

      Serves heaven not less than a star in the skies—

      What more could the Pleiades do than obey?

      —James Buckham.

      SUMMER AND WINTER

      If no kindly thought or word

      We can give, some soul to bless,

      If our hands, from hour to hour,

      Do no deeds of gentleness;

      If to lone and weary ones

      We no comfort will impart—

      Tho' 'tis summer in the sky,

      Yet 'tis winter in the heart!

      If we strive to lift the gloom

      From a dark and burdened life;

      If we seek to lull the storm

      Of our fallen brother's strife;

      If we bid all hate and scorn

      From the spirit to depart—

      Tho' 'tis winter in the sky,

      Yet 'tis summer in the heart!
