“To A Child - Written In Her Album”

Small service is true service while it lasts:
Of humblest Friends, bright Creature! scorn not one!
The Daisy, by the shadow that it casts,
Protects the lingering dew-drop from the Sun.

By William Wordsworth, English poet, (1770-1850). First written down in the Album of his God-daughter, Rotha Quill, in 1834, and published in 1835.
