Labor is wealth,-in the sea the pearl groweth;
Rich the queen's robe from the frail cocoon floweth;
From the fine acorn the strong forest bloweth;
Temple and statue the marble block hides.
Happy Labor Day 2018
Work for some good, be it ever so slowly;
Cherish some flower, be it ever so lowly;
Labor!-all labor is noble and holy;
Let thy great deed be thy prayer to thy God.
"Labor"
Frances Sargent Osgood
(1811-1850)
American poetess
