I sit in the twilight dim	A
At the close of an idle day	B
And I list to the soft sweet hymn	A
That rises far away	B
And dies on the evening air	C
Oh all day long	D
They sing their song	D
Who toil in the valley there	C
	-
But never a song sing I	E
Sitting with folded hands	F
The hours pass me by	E
Dropping their golden sands	F
And I list from day to day	B
To the 'tick tick tock'	D
Of the old brown clock	D
Ticking my life away	B
	-
And I see the twilight fade	G
And I see the night come on	H
And then in the gloom and shade	G
I weep for the day that's gone	I
Weep and wail in pain	J
For the misspent day	B
That has flown away	B
And will not come again	K
	-
Another morning beams	L
And I forget the last	M
And I sit in idle dreams	L
Till the day over past	M
Oh the toiler's heart is glad	N
When the day is gone	I
And the night comes on	H
But mine is sore and sad	N
	-
For I dare not look behind	O
No shining golden sheaves	P
Can I ever hope to find	O
Nothing but withered leaves	P
Ah dreams are very sweet	Q
But will not please	R
If only these	R
I lay at the Master's feet	Q
	-
And what will the Master say	B
To dreams and nothing more	S
Oh idler all the day	B
Think ere thy life is o'er	T
And when the day grows late	U
Oh soul of sin	V
Will He let you in	V
There at the pearly gate	U
	-
Oh idle heart beware	C
On to the field of strife	W
On to the valley there	C
And live a useful life	W
Up do not wait a day	B
For the old brown clock	D
With its 'tick tick tock '	-
Is ticking your life away	B
