Aaron Belford Thompson, "Work" (1899)
Work, ye while the daylight shineth;
Work, with all thy might and skill;
Work, and ne'er thy task declineth;
Work, for 'tis our Master's will!
Work, for He hath set thy duty;
Light the task, how canst thou shirk?
Work, to seek sweet heavenly beauty;
Ere night cometh, man can't work!
