Let me to-day do something that shall take
   A little sadness from the world's vast store,
And may I be so favored as to make
   Of joy's too scanty sum a little more.
Let me not hurt, by any selfish deed
   Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend.
Nor would I pass, unseeing, worthy need,
   Or sin by silence when I should defend.
                                                         Morning Prayer.
