THE DAILY TASK.
What more could men that love a sweet world ask Than this — the labour of the Daily Task? The patient bearing of the burden which Life puts upon the poor man and the rich; The tireless striving in the age-old strife To gain the fruits that in the feast of life Make pleasant dishes for all men to Who love all loveliness and all things sweet? What more could men desire than strength and chance. Not only heart to sing and dream and dance. But in the ring and revel of the day To go forth smiling to the unending fray, Serving and saving, answering each his call, Helping to lift the weak who sometimes fall, Leading our own to pastures that may seem Pleasant, at least, as those that light their dream?
