SMALL THINGS.

Despise not thou small things: The soul that longs for wings To soar to some great height of sacrifice, too oft Forgets the daily round Where little cares abound, And shakes off little duties while she looks aloft.
God has set some below Who must their all forego, And at his bidding give their loved, their best. The lot of some, like thine, Is small things to resign, Yet if thou giv’st that little, then thou too art blest.
Thou tread’st a lowly way; Be willing day by day To give up little comforts at God’s call, That thou may’st ready be To yield up cheerfully, When he shall crave thy dearest and thine all. —Selected.
