<h2><SPAN name="page163"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>GIVE</h2>
<p class="poetry">Give, and thou shalt receive. Give
thoughts of cheer,<br/>
Of courage and success, to friend and stranger.<br/>
And from a thousand sources, far and near,<br/>
Strength will be sent thee in thy hour of
danger.</p>
<p class="poetry">Give words of comfort, of defence, and hope,<br/>
To mortals crushed by sorrow and by error.<br/>
And though thy feet through shadowy paths may grope,<br/>
Thou shalt not walk in loneliness or terror.</p>
<p class="poetry">Give of thy gold, though small thy portion
be.<br/>
Gold rusts and shrivels in the hand that keeps
it.<br/>
It grows in one that opens wide and free.<br/>
Who sows his harvest is the one who reaps it.</p>
<p class="poetry">Give of thy love, nor wait to know the worth<br/>
Of what thou lovest; and ask no returning.<br/>
And wheresoe’er thy pathway leads on earth,<br/>
There thou shalt find the lamp of love-light
burning.</p>
