From their work
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day's journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend.
SAFE where I cannot die yet,Safe where I hope to lie too,Safe from the fume and the fret;You, and you,Whom I never forget.Safe from the frost and the snow,Safe from the storm and the sun,Safe where the seeds wait to growOne by one,And to come back in blow.
