COMPENSATION; QUATRAIN, by THOMAS STEPHENS COLLIER
First Line: No ceaseless vigil with hard toil we keep Last Line: And hunger cannot make its home with death. Alternate Author Name(s): Collyer, Thomas Stephens
No ceaseless vigil with hard toil we keep, And to grim want give but a passing breath; For after labor comes the rest of sleep, And hunger cannot make its home with death.
