Work Tomorrow

Sleep for in time you must awaken, And rise as lazerus from ancient ground, 'Fore the great star in sky has taken To Its goodly perch on horizen's crown. Under midday orb, glory's golden hue, Laborous tasks will you duitiful give Though praises recieved will often be few By sweat of brow, does your family live. These tasks may not be heroic in form But herculean are they in their need For without such hardships leaves kin forlorn The father must his progeny to feed But now it is time to lay head asleep For noon tomorrow you sow what you reap.
