    “I bargained with Life for a penny,
    and Life would pay no more,
    However I begged at evening
    When I counted my scanty store;

    Life is a just employer.
    He gives you what you ask,
    But once you have 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”
    Jessie B. Rittenhouse
