THE REASON by LEONARD BACON (1887-1954)

First Line: THE REASON WHY OUR WORK IS BRITTLE
Last Line: AND THINK SO LITTLE OF SO MUCH.
Subject(s): THOUGHT; THINKING;

The reason why our work is brittle
And shatters at the slightest touch?
We think so much about so little
And think so little of so much.
