TIME ENOUGH |

|

3 Two little boys in a school room were placed, One always perfect: the other disgraced ; "Time enough yet for my learning," he said, "I'll climb by and by from the foot to the head."
4 Listen,my darling: theirlocks have turned grey, One is a governor sitting to-day ,
The other, ;i pauper, looks out at the door Of the almshouse, and idles his days as of yore. |
5 Two kinds of people we meet every day; One is at work, the other at play,— Living uncarerl for, dying unknown— The business hive hath ever ;i drone.
6 Tell me, my child, if the squirrels have taught The lesson I long to impart in your thought; Answer me this, and my story is done. Which of the two would vou be, little one ? |
