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 the bright tints are glowing,
work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
fadeth to shine nor more.
Work while the night is dark'ning,
when man's work is o'er.


Ich will dir danken! 316
