    Good undone for the living to do--
    Still some aim for the heart and the will
    And the soul of a man to pursue.

All Nature seems at work, slugs leave their lair--
The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing--

Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!

Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.

But hapless woman ne'er can say
'My work is done' till judgment day."
