These words found in the Church Advocate are by Adelaide A. Proctor:

Do not look at life’s long sorrow;

See how small each moment’s pain;

God will help thee for to-morrow,

So each day begin again.

Every hour that fleets so slowly

Has its task to do or bear;

Luminous the crown and holy,

When each gem is set with care.

Do not linger with regretting,
