"AND men to-day—are they not always running about to do something? But He says: @3I have finished the work that Thou gavest me to do."@1 Thus to me the stone-cutter, with chisel and mallet in hand all the while dishing out a sump-cover, Standing out there in the Sun, in the light July breeze so cool, Spoke the words of Christ—the old indestructible words—which all down the ages, Whether in the mouth of stone-cutter or carpenter, Emerge time after time from the heart of the people. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HOUSEKEEPER by ROBERT FROST NATURE (2) by RALPH WALDO EMERSON VALENTINES TO MY MOTHER: 1882 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI VENICE by JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS MY VERY PARTICULAR FRIEND by MARIA ABDY PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 29.
