How can I tell which days have yielded fruit?
The days I labored at a task not mine?
The days I yielded to a wild pursuit?
The days I cast my pearls before the swine?
The days I hoarded every golden hour?
The days I laughed? The days I bore in pain?
The days when all my honey had turned sour?
The days I gathered in another's gain?
The days I studied and the days I wrought?
The days I loafed and only trusted God?
The days when whispered dreamings came unsought,
And I drew wisdom as I turned the sod?
How shall I know which ones of all the days
Shall on the last day bring me blame or praise?
