    Dress the ground and till it;
    Turn in the little seed, brown and dry,
    Turn out the golden millet.

    Work, and rest shall be won;
    I hold that a man had better be dead
    Than alive when his work is done.

For men must work and women must weep,
And the sooner it's over the sooner to sleep,
