WHAT DIDST THOU SOW?

By Watch Tower

ONE wept that his harvest was small, With little of fruit or of grain; While his neighbor, with barns running o’er, Still followed the full-freighted wain.

“How much didst thou sow,” I said, “friend?” “A handful of wheat less or more.” “And didst thou expect broad acres would bend To thy sickle from such scanty store?”

Who sparingly soweth, must look For little of fruit or of grain; ’Tis only the bountiful sower can reap A bountiful harvest again.

A lesson, I said, to thee, soul, For harvest time soon will be here; Sow with bountiful hand, lest thou weep at last, When the Lord of the harvest draws near.

—Watch Tower.
