When Earth's last picture is paintedA
And the tubes are twisted and driedB
When the oldest colors have fadedA
And the youngest critic has diedB
We shall rest and faith we shall need itC
Lie down for an aeon or twoD
'Till the Master of all good workmenE
Shall put us to work anewD
And those that were good shall be happyF
They'll sit in a golden chairG
They'll splash at a ten league canvasH
With brushes of comet's hairG
They'll find real saints to draw fromI
Magdalene Peter and PaulJ
They'll work for an age at a sittingK
And never be tired at allJ
And only the Master shall praise usH
And only the Master shall blameL
And no one will work for the moneyF
No one will work for the fameL
But each for the joy of the workingK
And each in his separate starM
Will draw the thing as he sees itC
For the God of things as they areM
