Work, For the Night is Coming

 

Work, for the night is coming:

Work through the morning hours;

Work while the dew is sparkling:

Work mid springing flowers;

Work when the day grows brighter;

Work in the glowing sun;

Work, for the night is coming,

When man's work is done.

Work, for the night is coming:

Work through the sunny noon;

Fill brightest hours with labor:

Rest comes sure and soon.

Give every flying minute

Something to keep in store;

Work, for the night is coming,

When man works no more.

Work, for the night is coming,

Under the sunset skies;

While their bright tints are glowing,

Work, for daylight flies.

Work till the last beam fadeth,

Fadeth to shine no more;

Work, while the night is darkening,

When man's work is o'er.
