Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Kansas Manual of Patriotic Instruction: Special Days Labor Day. Labor is life! - ´Tis the still water faileth; Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth; Keep the watch wound for the dark rust assaileth: Flowers droop and die in the stillness of noon. Labor is glory! - the flying cloud lightens; Only the waving wing changes and brightens; Idle hearts only the dark future frightens; Play the sweet keys, wouldst thou keep them in tune. Labor is rest - from the sorrows that greet us; Rest from all petty vexations that meet us, Rest from sin-promptings that ever entreat us, Rest from world-sirens that lead us to ill. Work, - and pure slumbers shall wait on thy pillow; Work, - thou shalt ride o´er cares coming billow; Lie not down wearied neath woes weeping willow; Work with a stout heart and resolute will. Droop not, though shame, sin and anguish are round thee; Bravely fling off the cold chain that hath bound thee; Look on yon pure heaven smiling beyond thee; Rest not content in thy darkness, - a clod. Work for some good, - be it ever so slowly; Cherish some flower, - be it ever so lowly; Labor! - all labor is noble and holy; Let thy great deeds be thy prayer to thy God. Work. Work, work, my boy, be not afraid; Look labor boldly in the face; Take up the hammer or the spade, And blush not for your humble place. There´s glory in the shuttle´s song; There´s triumph in the anvil´s stroke; There´s merit in the brave and strong, Who dig the mine or fell the oak. The wind disturbs the sleeping lake, And bids it ripple pure and fresh; It moves the green boughs till they make Grand music in their leafy mesh. And so the active breath of life Should stir our dull and sluggard wills; For are we not created rife With health, that stagnant torpor kills? I doubt if he who lolls his head Where idleness and plenty meet, Enjoys his pillow or his bread As those who earn the meals they eat. The man is never half so blest As when the busy day is spent So as to make his evening rest A holiday of glad content. - Selected.
