The Value Of Little Things

By William Cutter

What if the little rain should say,
“So small a drop as I
Can ne’er refresh the thirsty earth,
I’ll tarry in the sky!”

What if a shining beam of noon
Should in its fountain stay,
Because its feeble light alone
Is not enough for day!

Doth not each rain-drop help to form
The cool refreshing shower?
And every ray of light to warm
And beautify the flower?
