Faster still there is no time Get ye to work without reason nor rhyme To toil and labour forgetting why Shutting the world out from your eye. “In the city people hurry, hurry so as not to waste a single minute, and fail to realize that they are throwing a lifetime away.” - Giovannino Guareschi

Rushing
Faster still there is no time Get ye to work without reason nor rhyme To toil and labour forgetting why Shutting the world out from your eye. “In the city people hurry, hurry so as not to waste a single minute, and fail to realize that they are throwing a lifetime away.” - Giovannino Guareschi
