“THE LABORERS ARE FEW.”

Still the fields are waiting, waiting, For the laborers to come. And the golden grain is dying, Yet they tarry, heedless, dumb.
Few the brave and noble toilers In the harvest-field of life, Mighty, mighty throngs are groveling In the dust ’mid brutish strife.
White the harvest, weak the reapers, While the idling crowds are strong; Weary, scarred, and single-handed, Must we struggle, Lord, how long?
To the fields, the gracious Giver Points again with pitying pain, With the words of promise cheering These who sheave the precious grain.
