750. C. M. William Cutter. Youthful Example. 1 What if the little rain should say, So small a drop as I Can ne'er refresh these thirsty fields, I'll tarry in the sky? 2 What if a shining beam of noon Should in its fountain stay, Because its feeble light alone Cannot create a day? 3 Doth not each rain-drop help to form The cool, refreshing shower, And every ray of light to warm And beautify the flower? 4 Go thou, and strive to do thy share -- One talent, -- less than thine, -- Improved with steady zeal and care, Would gain rewards divine.
