LITTLE CELL.

 Little Cell! Little Cell! with a heart as big as heaven,

Remember that you are but a part!

This great longing¹ in your soul

Is the longing of the whole,

And your work is not done with your heart!

Don’t imagine, Little Cell,

That the work you do so well

Is the only work the world needs to do!

You are wanted in your place

For the growing of the race,

But the growing does not all depend on you!

26Little Cell! Little Cell! with a race’s whole ambition,

Remember there are others growing, too!

You’ve been noble, you’ve been strong;

Rest a while and come along;

Let the world take a turn and carry you!
