THI ROUND OF DAILY LIFE
How swiftly pass the hours of day.
The morning dawn, the rising sun,
Breakfast is o'er, a task begun,
A little toil, a brief respite;
The task renewed, more toil, more pain,
Time flies, and ere. we are aware
The night conies stealing swiftly on.
The day is done, the toil is o'er,
We leave the uncompleted task
In sorrow that we failed to do
As we had planned, and find at last
So little done for all our pain.
Then wearily we seek our cot,
To find relief from care in sleep,
To rest in sweet oblivion,
To sleep and rest, and nmyhap dream.
