«Wait not till it’s too late,
Till provisions dissipate,
Rather gather up with might,
So that hunger will not bite.
Count your blessings! Take a pause!
Don’t take everything at once!
For when you notice time’s long gone,
Away your blessings have been blown.
Could we stow our time away,
Maybe then we’d have our way!
We would dance until tomorrow, 
had we today no timely sorrows!»
