Over and Over Again

By Josephine Pollard

Over and over again, No matter which way I turn, I always find in the book of life Some lesson I have to learn. I must take my turn at the mill, I must grind out the golden grain, I must work at my task with a resolute will, Over and over again.
We can not measure the need Of even the tiniest flower, Nor check the flow of the golden sands That run through a single hour; But the morning dews must fall, And the sun and the summer rain Must do their part and perform it all Over and over again.
Over and over again The brook through the meadows flows, And over and over again The ponderous mill-wheel goes. Once doing will not suffice, Though doing be not in vain, And a blessing failing us once or twice May come if we try again.
— Josephine Pollard.
