Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the desert land.
Little hours of drilling,
Little "rifle shoots"
Make efficient soldiers
Out of raw recruits.
Little hours some spend in
Breaking liberty,
Oft' amount to something
More than E. P. D.
Little words of kindness,
When you spare a few,
Sound all right to some one;
Do they not to you?
