Work, for the Night is Coming
1．
Work, for the night is coming,
Work thro' the morning hours
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work 'mid springing flow'rs.
Work,when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun.
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2．
Work, for the night is coming,
Work thro' the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give ev'ry flying minute,
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3．
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 dark'ning
When man's work is o'er.
