a Needlewoman.
She works upon the tidy white
In manner strangely neat.
The figures which the damask Light

She makes q peaceful lamb or two
A-frisking on tho hill.
And flowers red and gold and blue.

The silken dove she does with taste
In tones Of pearl and rose.
And vines that softly twine In ohasta

To think his darling wife

Her sweet and precious life.
