Yonder see the morning blink:

By Alfred Edward Housman

Yonder see the morning blink: The sun is up, and up must I, To wash and dress and eat and drink And look at things and talk and think And work, and God knows why. Oh often have I washed and dressed And whats to show for all my pain? Let me lie abed and rest: Ten thousand times Ive done my best And alls to do again.
