A door through which man passes free,

To work God’s will.

Carpenter.—

Come, come, you waste

Your father’s time, my son! Make haste,

Reuben—we’ve got the lintel placed;

Bring me the nails.

Reuben. (As he brings the nails and drives them in. Sings)

Oh, what is yon tree that stands so high

And stretches its arms in sorrow?
