[graphic][merged small][merged small]

THE DAY AND THE WORK

There is waiting a work where only his hands can avail; And so, if he falters, a chord in the music will fail. He may laugh to the sky, he may lie for an hour in the

But he dare not go hence till the labor appointed is done.

To each man is given a marble to carve for the wall: A stone that is needed to heighten the beauty of all: And only his soul has the magic to give it a grace: And only his hands have the cunning to put it in place. -EDWIN MARKHAM.
