The willing workhorse
Never complains,
Never tells you
Of his pains;
Never a task
Avoid or shirk,
Just adds it to his burden,
Carries on with his work;
Follows his devoted path
His loyal road,
Carries on pulling the plough
His heavy load;
Then, quietly, in the evening
His sweat all poured,
Lies down and rests his bones
As his sole reward.
