A steady and slow hand

A steady and slow hand knows,
Without shame or sorrow,
Its’ measure and worth
Are incense and myrrh,
Not rod or hammered gold.
And does not tomorrow hold
‘Tween its fingers,
But works on today-
For progress does not rise
Untimely or imprecise,
But sprouts and grows
As seed from a furrow
Dug well and watered.
