By Mrs. E. J. S. Keen

Harvest-Time

MRS. E. J. S. KEEN

IDLE in the morning, unsown the seeds of kindness, Idle in the noontide and the dewy eve; Soon will come the harvest and the time of reaping; Canst thou come rejoicing with no golden sheaves?

Idle in the sunshine, idle in the shadow, Dreading threat'ning clouds and win- ter's chilling breeze; By and by the harvest and probation ended; Canst thou come rejoicing with no golden sheaves?

Then go forth, though weeping, toiling for the Master, While a few short hours the Lord in mercy leaves; Then to heaven's mansions he will bid us welcome; We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
