Life Wages
I bargained with
Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have a set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.
