| 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 |
