AT LITTLE VIRGIL’S WINDOW.
There are three green eggs in a small brown pocket,
And the breeze will swing and the gale will rock it,
Till three little birds on the thin edge teeter,
And our God be glad and our world be sweeter.
—Edwin Markham.
MEMORY GEMS.
Do thy duty, that is best,
Leave unto the Lord the rest.
Whene’er a task is set for you,
Don’t idly sit and view it—
Nor be content to wish it done;
Begin at once and do it.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, brave and true,
Moment by moment, the long day through.
—Sel.
