Reaping

ELIZABETH B. ZACHARIASEN

While the years are swiftly passing, As we watch them come and go, Do we realize the maxim, “We must reap what’e’er we sow”?
When the past comes up before us, All our thoughts, our acts, and deeds, Shall they glean for us fair roses, Or a harvest bear of weeds?
Are we sowing seeds to blossom? We shall reap some day, somewhere, Just what here we have been sowing, Worthless weeds or roses fair.
All around us whispering ever, Hear the voice of nature speak, Teaching all the selfsame lesson, “As you sow so shall you reap.”
