(1)Work, for the night is coming, work, through the morning hours.
Work while the dew is sparkling, work 'mid springing flowers:
Work when the day grows brighter, work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming, when man's work is done.
(2)Work, for the night is coming, work in the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor, rest comes sure and soon:
Give every flying minute something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming, when man works no more.
(3)Work, for the night is coming, under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing, work, for daylight flies:
Work till the last beam fadeth, fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is dark'ning when man's work is o'er.
