Is there an analysis of the poem count that day lost of George Eliot?

The poem is basically saying that a day spent helping people can be considered a really good day. Even if you do one small thing to help someone in a tiny way, the day has not been lost because of the joy you brought to another person. However, if at the end of your day, you can remember nothing that you did that was helpful or comforting or compassionate towards another person, consider the day lost because you had a golden opportunity to be a better person and you missed it. As an Eagle Scout I completely understand the point George Eliot is trying to make here. The Boy Scout slogan is "do a good turn daily" and I have seen my fair share of what happens on the days I follow this and on the days I don't. Although I wouldn't quite agree with George's idea that even a tiny helpful deed can satisfy an entire day because there are those days when most things can't save it. I would say at least a few things should be done each day in order to successfully call a day satisfactory. But I do fully agree with the idea that if no good deed is done at all, you might as well pretend that day never existed. That part I think Eliot hit square on the head.
