~A Morning Prayer~ <br />
<br />
Let me to-day do something that shall take<br />
A little sadness from the world’s vast store,<br />
And may I be so favoured as to make<br />
Of joy’s too scanty sum a little more.<br />
<br />
Let me not hurt, by any selfish deed<br />
Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend;<br />
Nor would I pass, unseeing, worthy need,<br />
Or sin by silence when I should defend.<br />
<br />
However meagre be my worldly wealth,<br />
Let me give something that shall aid my kind—<br />
A word of courage, or a thought of health,<br />
Dropped as I pass for troubled hearts to find.<br />
<br />
Let me to-night look back across the span<br />
‘Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience say—<br />
Because of some good act to beast or man—<br />
“The world is better that I lived today.”<br />
<br />
