I. WORK
Let me but do my work from day to day, / In field or forest, at the desk or loom, / In roaring market-place or tranquil room; / Let me but find it in my heart to say, / When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, / "This is my work; my blessing, not my doom; / Of all who live, I am the one by whom / This work can best be done in the right way."
