When Earth's Last Picture is Painted
By Rudyard Kipling

When Earth's last picture is painted
And the tubes are twisted and dried
When the oldest of colors is faded
And the youngest critic has died

We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it
Lie down for an aeon or two
'Til the Master of all good workmen
Shall put us to work anew

And those that were good shall be happy
They'll sit in a golden chair
They'll splash at a ten league canvas
With brushes of comets hair

They'll find real Saints to draw from
Magdalene, Peter, and Paul
They'll work for an age at a sitting
And never be tired at all

And only the Master shall praise us
And only the Master shall blame
And no one will work for the money
No one will work for the fame

But each for the joy of working
And each in his separate star
Will draw the thing as he sees it
For the God of things as they are

Our Deepest Condolences for Your Loss
