Workman’s poem

 

The days glide by

in the darkening monotony

of the failing year.

 

A brick is laid

as the days glide by

in the darkening monotony.

 

The road is built,

a brick is laid,

as the days glide by.

 

When do we realize

the road is built,

a brick is laid?

 

What do we do

when we realize

the road is built?

 

We rest

and work no more.
