And let him rule as our sire

But drive him like a pest
Or else you’ll rust!
Know, life is not to rest!

The sun has set and the shadows fled
Weary men after the day’s toil and careAre back home for sleep and restNo bird sings and no beast straysNo tramp wanders and no lights shimmerSilence rules and peace prevailsThe sky is clear and the stars do glimmerBuds unfold in shady gladesA sweet aroma pervades the airFluttering leaves sing a lullabyAnd glow worms reel on…
