"Not all who seem to fail have failed indeed; 

Not all who fail have therefore worded in vain;
For all our acts to many issues lead; 
and of of earnest purpose, pure and plain, 
Enforced by honest toil of hand or brain,
The Lord will fashion, in His own good time,
Such ends, as to his wisdom, fittest chime
With His vast love's eternal harmonies. 

There is no failure for the good and wise;
What though they seed should fall by the wayside
And the birds snatch it! - yet the birds are fed;
or they may bear it far across the tide,
To give rich harvests after thou are dead."
Charles Kingsley. 

The poem offers a hopeful and spiritual perspective on failure, suggesting that no sincere effort is truly wasted. Even if immediate goals aren't achieved, honest work contributes to a greater purpose, whether by benefiting others, aligning with divine will, or producing results beyond one’s lifetime. It encourages perseverance, faith, and trust in a larger plan, particularly from a perspective rooted in religious or moral conviction.
