Labor is living and Pain is living; And Labor and Pain go hand in hand, And peer in the windows across the land: And so wherever Love is giving Labor for Pain or Pain for Labor, Each to the other is nearly neighbor; Yea, these are the millstones of the heart, Upper and nether, and never apart; And the grist of the grinded grain goes down In flaky showers from the kernels brown; But therefrom cometh, when all is said, The hope of the heart and the world's white bread.
