Poems on "Work" for copywork

The following are some of my favorite verses/poems on work and our attitudes toward the work we must do. They are great for memory work, penmanship or copywork.

If a task is once begun,

Never leave it till it's done;
Be the labor great or small
Do it well, or not at all.

p. 163, Daily Lesson Plans in English by Caroline Griffin

Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment, the long day through.

p.112, Daily Lesson Plans in English by Caroline Griffin

Seven Days make a week
Sixty seconds make a minute,
Something sure you can learn in it;
Sixty minutes make an hour,
Work with all your might and power;
Twenty-four hours make a day,
Time enough for work and play.
Seven days a week will make;
You will learn, if pains you take.
~Selected

Thanks for posting these, I think I will use them for my little girl! They would be good memorization poems for my young ones!
