NOTHING LOST.

Nothing is lost, the drop of dew That trembles on the leaf or flower, Is but exhaled, to fall anew In summer's thunder shower; Perchance to shine within the bow That fronts the sun at full of day— Perchance to sparkle in the flow Of fountains far away.

So with our deeds, of good or ill, They have their power scarce understood Then let us use our better will, To make them rife with good; Like circles on a lake they go, Ring within ring, and never stay. Oh! that our deeds were fashioned so That they might bless alway.
