Classic and Contemporary Poetry
ONE THING AT A TIME, by M. A. STODART
First Line: Work while you work
Last Line: And play while you play.
First Line: Work while you work
Last Line: And play while you play.
Work while you work,
Play while you play;
That is the way
To be cheerful and gay.
All that you do,
Do with your might;
Things done by halves
Are never done right.
One thing each time,
And that done well,
Is a very good rule,
As many can tell.
Moments are useless
Trifled away;
So work while you work,
And play while you play.
