Always hurrying yet never in haste,
This is all the story of Solomon Waste.
He fussed and worked and toiled all frothing
And at the end of all did nothing.
Always hurrying yet never in haste,
This is all the story of Solomon Waste.
He lived in wishing and in striving,
And nothing came of all his living;
He worked and toiled in rain and sweat,
And nothing came out of all that.
Always hurrying yet never in haste,
This is all the story of Solomon Waste.
