Learn A Little Every Day
Little rills make wider streamlets,
Streamlets swell, the rivers flow;
Rivers join the mountain billows,
Onward as they go!
Life is made of smaller fragments,
Shade and sunshine, work or play;
So we may with greater profit,
Learn a little every day.
Tiny seeds make boundless harvests,
Drops of rain compose the showers,
Seconds make the flying minutes,
And the minutes make the hours.
Let us hasten them and catch them,
As they pass us on the way,
And with honest true endeavor,
Learn a little every day.
Let us read some striking passage,
Cull a verse from every page,
Here a line and there a sentence,
’Gainst the lonely time of age.
At our work, or by the wayside,
While the sun is making hay,
Thus we may by help of study,
Learn a little every day.
