From Graphic Stories for Boys and Girls — published in England in the 1800's --- A series of morality stories and short stories for children. Author Unknown.

If you've any task to do,
Let me whisper, friend, to you,

. . . . . Do it.

If you've any thing to say,
True and needed, yea or nay,

. . . . . Say it.

If you've any thing to love,
As a blessing from above,

. . . . . Love it.

If you've any thing to give,
That another's joy may live,

. . . . . Give it.

If you know what torch to light,
Guiding others through the night,

. . . . . Light it.

If you've any debt to pay,
Rest you neither night nor day,

. . . . . Pay it.

If you've any joy to hold
Next your heart, lest it get cold,

. . . . . Hold it.

If you've any grief to meet,
At the loving Father's feet,

. . . . . Meet it.

If you're given light to see
What a child of God should be,

. . . . . See it.

Whether life be bright or drear,
There's a message sweet and clear
Whispered down to every ear

. . . . . Hear it.
