1. Work, for the night is coming! Work through the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparking; Work ‘mid springing flowers; Work while the day grows brighter, Under the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming, When man’s work is done. 2. Work, for the night is coming! Work through the sunny noon; Full brightest hours with labour; Rest comes sure and soon, Give to each 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 darkening, When man’s work is o’er.
