Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Something Left Undone

2014-11-07 56 Dailymotion

Labor with what zeal we will, <br />Something still remains undone, <br />Something uncompleted still <br />Waits the rising of the sun. <br /> <br />By the bedside, on the stair, <br />At the threshhold, near the gates, <br />With its menace or its prayer, <br />Like a medicant it waits; <br /> <br />Waits, and will not go away; <br />Waits, and will not be gainsaid; <br />By the cares of yesterday <br />Each to-day is heavier made; <br /> <br />Till at length the burden seems <br />Greater than our strength can bear, <br />Heavy as the weight of dreams <br />Pressing on us everywhere. <br /> <br />And we stand from day to day, <br />Like the dwarfs of times gone by, <br />Who, as Northern legends say, <br />On their shoulders held the sky.<br /><br />Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-left-undone/
