I rose today
and started chores
the laundry and the dishes
I made the bed
and brushed my head
and dreamed of many wishes
Oh, now to work I go!
Oh, now to labor!
Oh, now to give my soul
To labor with my neighbor
Now I lay my head to rest
My body worn and tired
Good the book upon my chest
by the winter fire!
Oh, now from work I come
Oh, now from labor!
Oh, now I wake my soul!
Resting in things greater!
