Living

Saturday

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1850–1919

From Maurine and Other Poems (1888)

Living

Now with the almost finished task make haste;
So near the night thou hast no time to waste.
Post up accounts, and let thy Soul's eyes look
For flaws and errors in Life's ledger-book.
When labors cease,
How sweet the sense of peace!
