If any word or deed of mine, 
 
 Great or small, 
 Can cheer the sad on whom they shine, . 
 
 Like heaven's call, 
 Then help me, Lord, those gifts to share, 
 And scatter them like sunbeams fair. 
 
|^Pr off in country lonely, 
 
 strong ties of love each day 
 • Were knit between love's dear ones 
 
 in every word and way— 
 There, in an humble cottage, 
 
 all seemed so fair and bright, 
 That oft it did remind them 
 
 of days without a night. 
 
f N fields of verdant pastures 
 
 and by the shady tree, 
 V®| Sweet words and deeds of kindness 
 were like the river free; 
 And with the rippling waters, 
 
 as they did onward flow, 
 A childish song was mingled, 
 
 so sweet, and soft, and low

-vHE father was a shepherd, 
 
 and well his daughter knew 
 ' His voice as he the sheep called 
 
 and to them food did strew; 
 And when a lamb would wander 
 
 in realms of death and pain 
 The shepherd, by a known cry, 
 
 would bring it back again.

f T last the daughter questioned 
 
 C ^C ( jV the sweetness of her lot, 
 
 For as she thought of city 
 
 the farm joys she forgot. 
 Though future steps should pierce her 
 
 with unknown fiery smart, 
 Yet she would go thus forward 
 
 with brave and hopeful heart.

AND clasped in hand her parents 
 
 bade her a sad good-bye. 
 ij' The face of love, oh how sweet, 
 
 as eye still met each eye, 
 For in each heaving bosom 
 
 was purity and grace 
 That met with God's approval 
 
 as they stood face to face. 
 
FAIR and country maiden 
 
 in city all alone 
 Found not a few allurements 
 
 to which mankind is prone. 
 There things were very charming 
 
 and friends almost divine, 
 Who praised her for her beauty 
 
 and tempted her with wine.

 he tarried there till night, 
 
 Hoping to find his own lamb 
 
 now lost out of his sight. 
 
 The streets seemed cold and cheerless 
 as he put forth his cry, 
 
 Then listened for an answer 
 
 from her who might be nigh.

 was found at last that night, 
 For on her ears the call fell 
 
 as if from heaven's height. 
 She rushed into a lone street 
 
 and to her father's arm, 
 And, with tears of confession, 
 
 begged for home on the farm.
