POLITICS

FOR

THE PEOPLE.

LONDON:

JOHN W. PARKER, WEST STRAND.

MDCCCXLVIII.

[blocks in formation]

Not all who seem to fail, have failed indeed;
Not all who fail have therefore worked in vain:
For all our acts to many issues lead;
And out of earnest purpose, pure and plain,
Enforced by honest toil of hand or brain,
The Lord will fashion, in his own good time,
(Be this the labourer's proudly-humble creed,)
Such ends as, to his wisdom, fitliest chime
With his vast Love's eternal harmonies.
There is no failure for the good and wise:
What though thy seed should fall by the way-side
And the birds snatch it;-yet the birds are fed;

Or they may bear it far across the tide
To give rich harvests after thou art dead.
