Nothing Is in Vain

By Columbian

NOTHING is in vain: Not a flower blooms to die 'Neath the shade or open sky, But is found by some lone eye: It will bloom again; For the thoughts of God shall be Lasting as eternity.
Not a sweet-voiced bird Lives and sings and flies away But some heart is gladdened; nay, Not the music of a day Passes all unheard; For there is an ear that hears All the music of the years.
Not a kindly deed That a loving hand has wrought, Not a soul-born word, to naught By the cankering years is brought; Not a truthful creed In forgetfulness long lies, It must grow where falsehood dies.
—Columbian.
