Work for the night is coming; Work through the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling; Work 'mid springing flowers;  Work when the day grows brighter; Work in the glowing sun; Work when the night is coming, When man's work is done. 

Lots of things I could say about this one--which clearly elaborates on the notion that  a woman's work is never done. Indeed. But there is also something about the repetition of the urgency-loaded phrase "work for the night is coming" that feels timely in a different way, especially for the fact that the men in this scenario have already stopped--perhaps these are the hours of the day when plans are made and plots are laid! My sense of this may be enhanced by the fact that our woman in black and white stripes looks pretty scrappy, and knowing--and rather as if she's got a cigarette dangling from her mouth! I'd put my money on her to lead a revolt!
