If you can sit at set of sun And count the deeds that you have done And counting find oneself-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him that heard. One glance most kind, Which fell like sunshine where he went, Then you may count that day well spent.
Robert BrowningO woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
