Dont put down ↑ up ↓ my Thread & Needle –
I’ll begin to Sow
When the Birds begin to
whistle –
Better stitches – so –
These were bent – my sight
got crooked –
When my mind – is plain
I’ll do seams – a Queen′s
endeavor
Would not blush to own –
Hems – too fine for Lady′s tracing
To the sightless knot –
Tucks – of dainty interspersion –
Like a dotted Dot –
Leave my Needle in the furrow –
Where I put it down –
I’ll begin to Sow
When the Birds begin to
whistle –
Better stitches – so –
These were bent – my sight
got crooked –
When my mind – is plain
I’ll do seams – a Queen′s
endeavor
Would not blush to own –
Hems – too fine for Lady′s tracing
To the sightless knot –
Tucks – of dainty interspersion –
Like a dotted Dot –
Leave my Needle in the furrow –
Where I put it down –
¦
I can make the zigzag stitches
Straight – when I am strong –
Till then – + dreaming I am
sowing
Fetch the seam I missed –
Closer – so I – at my + sleeping –
Still surmise I stitch –
+ deeming + sighing –
So well that I can live
without –
I love thee – then How well
is that?
As well as Jesus?
Prove it me
That He – loved Men –
As I – love thee –
