POOR, YET POSSESSING.
Thy garden may seem poor and small,Of flowers scanty the supply;
But go and gather them, and then
The blossom-bunch shows handsomely.
Sweet and many are they found,
These the products of thy ground.
59
Beautiful and true;
Actions serviceable, kind,
In our power to do;
Gifts and mercies we receive
May scanty seem and few;
But, gathering them, we find
Something we have and something are.
Poor they look dispersed;
Cluster'd, very fair.
And this wealth we may increase
By diligence and care.
Hope is born of thankfulness;
But of palsying despair
Thou the ready victim art,
Viewing good things but apart.
