Don't put up my Thread and Needle - I'll begin to Sew 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 sewing Fetch the seam I missed - Closer - so I - at my sleeping - Still surmise I stitch - |
