|
<p>Work, for the night is coming,<br>
|
|
Work through the morning hours;<br>
|
|
Work while the dew is sparkling,<br>
|
|
Work ’mid springing flowers;<br>
|
|
Work when the day grows brighter,<br>
|
|
Work in the glowing sun;<br>
|
|
Work, for the night is coming,<br>
|
|
When man’s work is done.</p>
|
|
<p>Work, for the night is coming,<br>
|
|
Work through the sunny noon;<br>
|
|
Fill brightest hours with labor,<br>
|
|
Rest comes sure and soon.<br>
|
|
Give every flying minute,<br>
|
|
Something to keep in store;<br>
|
|
Work, for the night is coming,<br>
|
|
When man works no more.</p>
|
|
<p>Work, for the night is coming,<br>
|
|
Under the sunset skies;<br>
|
|
While their bright tints are glowing,<br>
|
|
Work, for daylight flies.<br>
|
|
Work till the last beam fadeth,<br>
|
|
Fadeth to shine no more;<br>
|
|
Work, while the night is darkening,<br>
|
|
When man’s work is o’er.</p>
