Dont put 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 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.
