Where is rest? In what isles of the summer glad

In what gardens of balm? Meath what sleep

In what meadows of silence. what valley OF

Yes where on the earth's or the oceans wide

Is the home of release and the harhor of rest?
Why here in the corn feId-and take up your hoe
Right here i'm this -mill-make the paddle wheel go
Right here with your engine-up steam and away!
Right here with your sewing machine every day
Where there's work there is rest. and it's nowhere
beside,
Though you travel all lands and you sail every
tide.
Where is resto Go TO work and your spirit renew
For no man can rest who has nothing to do.
