Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFEFDF GHGHDH DIDDDI JKJKDL MNMNDN OPOPDP ANANDNThe face of the world is a homely face | A |
And the look of the world unkind | B |
When harsh on your arm a hand it lays | C |
And bids you into the grind | B |
That 's little to your mind my dear | D |
That 's little to your mind | B |
- | |
But it 's work that counts in the world you see | E |
Not what we dream but do | F |
For the dreamer of dreams whatever he be | E |
If he 'd have his dreams come true | F |
Must be a workman too my dear | D |
Must be a workman too | F |
- | |
So much to do so much to know | G |
So much that life would shirk | H |
But each is one of a hive below | G |
The world's great Hive of Irk | H |
Where each must do his work my dear | D |
Each one must do his work | H |
- | |
A song a look a word of cheer | D |
Will help more than a sigh | I |
For this is the law of the hive my dear | D |
That every bee must try my dear | D |
And all the drones must die my dear | D |
That all the drones must die | I |
- | |
Oft times it seems that the end is far | J |
And the work we do in vain | K |
That night will never reveal a star | J |
And day bring only rain | K |
To trouble our hearts again my dear | D |
To trouble our hearts again | L |
- | |
But ever the stars are shining there | M |
With ever the old regard | N |
And be it foul or be it fair | M |
However long debarred | N |
All work has its reward my dear | D |
All work has its reward | N |
- | |
Could summer come without the rose | O |
Or morn without the sun | P |
And thus shall toil bring soul's repose | O |
To each and every one | P |
Whose work at last is done my dear | D |
Whose work at last is done | P |
- | |
For the face of the world is a homely face | A |
But the look in its eyes is kind | N |
To him who sets his heart's brisk pace | A |
To the work he has in mind | N |
And turns not with the wind my dear | D |
And turns not with the wind | N |
