Show OThe Stone That's Never Been Turned BY SARAH E. 0. MITTON When things go wrong wo oft comp'aln, About our weary lot; And oven say earth after all, Is but a dreary spot. 'Tis then we're apt to peer afar, For blessings all unseen, And closo our doors against the Joys, Which round the threshold gleam, i But we should no'cr dear Nature blame, Or any friend In heaven; Or say tho luck has not been ours, J That's unto others given. i Perhaps tho gem wo'ro looking for, j Tho pearl for which we yearn, j Lies 'nenth tho stone our hands havo mado, j No effort et to turn.
