MAN'S TOIL
MAN'S TOIL ENDS TO NO LESS THAN WHAT HE EXPECTS
DAY AFTER DAY HE DOES HIS TEDIOUS JOB
WITH ARDENT DESIRE TO PLEASE HIS MASTER
HE KEEPS ON KEEPING ON WHAT HE STARTED
THE MOUNTAIN'S TOO STEEP TO CLIMB
THE COLD WIND BLOWS AND SHIVERS HIM
RAIN KEEPS ON POURING OUT LOUD
ROARING THUNDERS AND BRIGHT LIGHTNINGS SHOVE HIM AWAY
HE DRIFTED AND DRIFTED TO NOWHERE
PANTETH FOR WATER AND BREAD
HIS ANGEL CARRIED HIM TO GREEN MEADOWS
WHERE HE ENJOYED WHAT HE TOILED SO HARD
IT WAS A LONG JOURNEY SELDOM TRAVELED
BUT IT PAYS A LOT IF COUPLED WITH PERSEVERANCE
HONEY IS FABRICATED BY BEES PERSPIRATION
AND MONEY IS MADE BY MAN'S TOIL.

Re: MAN'S TOIL
A man toiled on a burning road,
Never resting.
Once he saw a fat, stupid ass
Grinning at him from a green place.
The man cried out in rage,
"Ah! Do not deride me, fool!
I know you --
All day stuffing your belly,
Burying your heart
In grass and tender sprouts:
It will not suffice you."
But the ass only grinned at him from the green place.

Re: MAN'S TOIL
The stubborn & the ornate
compose the work of man,
Test what his hands create
He who underlies the plan,
All time, all space I relate
to toil, & the fingers span.
Why should I make & adorn
why with profusion shade ?
what I resist is born
what I protect will fade,
I think of rose & thorn
then thrust with foot on spade.
The pattern of time runs out
& then I correct its pace,
I give weight of thought
to all that my hand would trace,
But what, at last, have I wrought ?
Nothing, except by grace.
