    When Darby saw the setting sun
    He swung his scythe, and home he run,
    Sat down, drank off his quart and said,
    "My work is done, I'll go to bed."
    "My work is done!" retorted Joan,
    "My work is done! Your constant tone,
    But hapless woman ne'er can say
    'My work is done' till judgment day."

I am nothing and to nothing tend,
On earth I nothing have and nothing claim,
Man's noblest read more

I am nothing and to nothing tend,
On earth I nothing have and nothing claim,
Man's noblest works must have one common end,
And nothing crown the tablet of his name.

There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world.
Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general read more

There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world.
Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge.
What drudgery is inevitable will be done as a service and duty
for a few years or months out of each life; it will not consume
nor degrade the whole life of anyone.
