WORK.
We are not here for holidays ; our lives are not for dreaming, While toiling hands and busy heads are labouring all around ; Men are stirring, wheels are whirring, fires gleaming, vessels steaming — There is work on \and and ocean and in regions underground. And full often, as I ponder o'er some lofty pile upspringing, On triumphant deeds accomplished, or some mighty victory won, I find that in my ears a chime of thought has been set ringing — " All great works are made up of little works well done."
