THE LAW OF RECOMPENSE.

THERE is no wrong, by anyone committed, But will recoil; Its sure return, with double ill repeated, No skill can foil.
As on the earth the mists it yields to heaven Descend in rain, So on his head whoe'er has evil given, It falls again.
It is the law of life that retribution Shall follow wrong; It never fails, although the execution May tarry long.
Then let us be, with unrelaxed endeavor, Just, true, and right, That the great law of recompense may ever Our hearts delight.
