"DOES IT PAY."
IF one poor burdened toiler o'er life's road,Who meets us by the way,Goes on less conscious of his galling load,Then life indeed, does pay.
If we can show one troubled heart the gain,That lies alway in loss,Why, then, we too, are paid for all the painOf bearing life's hard cross.
If some despondent soul to hope is stirred,Some sad lip made to smile,By any act of ours, or any word,Then, life has been worth while.
