By Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Serving

THE sweetest lives are those to duty wed, Whose deeds, both great and small, Are close-knit strands of unbroken thread, Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpets, ring no bells; The book of life the shining record tells.
Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes After its own life working. A child's kiss Set on thy sighing lips shall make thee glad.
A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong. Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense Of service which thou renderest.

— Elizabeth Barrett Browning
