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
