Nothing to Do

04/28/2026 14:58h
The fields are white; The laborers are few; Yet say the idle: There’s nothing to do. Jails are crowded; In Sunday-schools few; We still complain: There’s nothing to do. Drunkards are dying— Your sons, it is true; Mothers’ arms folded With nothing to do. Heathens are dying; Their blood falls on you; How can you people Find nothing to do?
