ALMOST SUNDOWN.

I AM looking over my labors, By the light of the setting sun; For I see by the lengthening shadows That my day is nearly done. My work for the blessed Master Is drawing toward its close; Far less have I done in the vineyard Than I hoped when the morning rose. And yet, while the daylight lingers, I will work as well as I may; Nor waste the remaining moments Regretting a misspent day. And oh, if now in the vineyard Are any led there by my hand, I give you this word at our parting, As near to the gateway I stand: Do all you can for the Master; Do better than I have done; And then, when the day is ended, You may welcome the setting sun. —Sel.
