IT IS PLEASANT TO LABOR.
BY HATTIE JIOOM vfi.
It is pleasant to labor, with hearty good will
When the nerve is steady, and strong, and still;
When the step is firm, and the heart is free,
As the dancing waves of the dark, blue sea ;
When out o’er creation, in glad surprise,
The young soul looks from the bold, bright eyes :
When the limb lias no languor—the gottl no stain-
It is pleasant to labor for future gain.
!t is pleasant to labor, when sail—oppre.-sei *
With a fitful demon of wild unrest;
When the harp is unswept, and the song unsung,
And the soul to earth’s music is all unstrung ;
When the waves of life’s ocean, with inadd’ning roar.
Break sullen and dark, on some desolate shore ;
It is pleasant to labor—forgetting the pain
Os the stranded heart, and the shipwrecked fame
It is pleasant to labor ! pure eye from above
Look down on our labors for those w love :
The soul may be weary—the arm may be weak.
The brow may be furrowed, and pallid the cheek,
The step infirm, and the heart all tried
With the vexing cares which our lives betide;
Vet the angels smile when pur strength we prove,
Tn undying labor for those we love.
