正文 Work And Contemplation

Work And plation

The woman sih at her spinning-wheel

A pleasant t, ballad or barcarole;

She thih of her song, upon the whole,

Far more than of her flax; ahe reel

Is full, and artfully her fingers feel

With quick adjustment, provident trol,

The lioo subtly twisted to unroll--

Out to a perfect thread. I hence appeal

To the dear Christian Church--that we may do

Our Fathers business iemples mirk,

Thus swift and steadfast, thus i and strong;

While thus, apart from toil, our souls pursue

Some high calm spherie, and prove our work

The better for the sweetness of our song.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
