Work Thou for Pleasure

Work thou for pleasure; paint or sing or carve

The thing thou lovest, though the body starve.

Who works for glory misses oft the goal;

Who works for money coins his very soul.

Work for work's sake then, and it well may be

That these things shall be added unto thee.

_Kenyon Cox._
