| And count the things that we have done | A |

| One glance most kind | B |
| That fell like sunshine where it went | D |

| - | |
| Or on the other hand if we | E |
| In looking through the day can see | E |
| A place or spot | F |
| Where we an unkind act put down | G |
| Or where we smiled when wont to frown | G |
| Or crushed some thought | H |
| That cumbered the heart ground where it stood | I |
| Then we may count that day as good | I |
| - | |
| But if through all the life long day | J |
| We've eased no heart by yea or nay | J |
| If through it all | K |
| We've done no thing that we can trace | L |
| That brought the sunshine to a face | L |
| No act most small | K |
| That helped some soul and nothing cost | M |
| Then count that day as worse than lost | N |
