446 ~ Work, for the Night Is Coming

1

Work for the night is coming, Work through the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling; Work 'mid springing flowers; Work while 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.
