IN PASSING.

By Harold McGill Davis

ONLY a little sunbeam Entered a cottage door; But the gloom of the room did disappear 'Neath the sunlight's ray of warmth and cheer Down on the hard bare floor.
Only a gentle zephyr, Bearing a sweet perfume; Yet the strife of a life was easy to bear Since the fragrant odor filled the air, Scenting a wretched room.
Only a cheerful greeting Given a lonesome soul; Yet the word which was heard was easy to say, And it brightened the path of the weary one's way, Helping him reach his goal.
Merely a deed of kindness Done to our fellow man, Gives a start to a heart weighted down with woe, And it may be, perchance, for ought we know, The only thing that can. —Harold McGill Davis.
