8 LITTLE JOBS
By Betou Broiep

~ BeftoH Brdtep
little job, the petty job
That you and must do
TheSdull and humdrum drudgery
Which daily we go through;
There ISM any fun to 1t.
Nor any thrill or tarob,
And yet the world is made to move
BY Just that kind of job.
The splendid plan. the noble plan
That sets all hearts afire
Is carried out by ploddlug men
Who drudge and who perspire;
Not theirs to know the glorious dream
yet by the toll they give
The vision of the pioneers
sSall.iiye and live and live.
TheBiitue job. the petty job
The Job that's drab and slow
Fashions the lordly palaces
And makes the empires grow;
The dreamer dreams. but still the work
1ssdone by ploddlng mobs
That build the dull old world anew
dull and dreary jobs.
