Summary: Count That Day Lost by George Eliot is a poem about going beyond the care and concern for oneself to make someone else happy in order to make a day worth while

Characters:

Speaker - Narrator of the poem

Section:

At the end of the day, if you have done one unselfish act to bring "sunshine where it went" then the day was worth the time that one had spent
On the otherhand, if the count of any unselfish deeds is zero, then the speaker can say that day is "worse than lost" for there was no "sunshine"

Other Notes:

George Eliot was English and wrote about relationships
One drop of "sunshine" would light up many a person's day and make living on Earth much more than it is if it were to be performed once a day at the very least
