"WHAT HAVE WE DONE TODAY? " - SELECTED

                               What shall we do so much in the years to come,

                                   But what have we done today?

                               We shall give of our gold in a princely sum,

                                   But what did we give today?

                               We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,

                                    We shall plant a hope in the place of fear.

                               We shall speak the words of love and cheer.

                                     But what did we speak today? 

                               We shall be so kind in the afterwhile,

                                      But what have we been today?

                                We shall give to truth a grander truth,

                                      And to a steadfast faith a deeper worth;

                                We shall feed the hungering souls of earth, 

                                      But whom have we fed today?

                                 We shall reap such joys in the by and by,

                                        But what have we sown today?

                                  We shall build our mansions in the sky

                                        But what have we built today? 

                                  "Tis sweet in the idle dreas to bask,

                                        But here and now do we do our task?

                                  Yes; this is the thing our souls must ask,
