Last Poems (Housman)/Yonder see the morning blink
XI
Yonder see the morning blink: The sun is up, and up must I,To wash and dress and eat and drinkAnd look at things and talk and think And work, and God knows why.
Oh often have I washed and dressed And what's to show for all my pain?Let me lie abed and rest:Ten thousand times I've done my best And all's to do again.
