58 SONGS FOR THE ©

The bird will not listen; but children young,
That are hungry, or cold, or wet,

May share in my cottage, and join in my song,
And they shall have plenty to eat.

Hastings’ “‘ Nursery Songs.”

 

LITTLE THINGS.

Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,

Make the mighty ocean,
And the pleasant land.

Thus the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

Thus our little errors
Lead the soul away
From the path of virtue,
Off in sin to stray.

Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,

Like the heaven above.
