4- OUT OF THE SILENCE ♦
And what can you say when the day
is done
And you’ve gone to your bed of rest
Vhen the shadows come and the light
has gone
O’er the rim of the Golden West,
And a silvery beam of the moon crops
in
As if in an aimless quest?
What do you say
When a kindly voice that you seem to
know
Out of the shadows speaks soft and
low,
“Well, what did you do to-day?”
“Well, what did you do to-day?”
Ch, what can you say when you’re all
alone
With the Master of all the tasks?
How much of a sin do you have to
own
When the voice of the master asks—
How many things have you left un
done
Your studied answer makes?
What do you say
When out of the shades of the silent
night
The Master speaks with the Master’s
right
“Well, what did you do to-day?”
Thrice blest is he of the humble way
Who sinks to his bed of rest —
The rest he earned with a toiling day
With love of his labor blest—
V.Tio hears the voice of his Master
ask and truthfully say “My
best!”
The man who can say
I ve trod the way of my best intend,
I've helped a friend and I’ve made a
friend
To “What did you do to-day?”
—John D. Wells.
