Zoe oLu sPINNINo Wheel.

1t used to stand in the kitchen. in a corner
CHEEKY and bright,
Where she burning log in the fireplace shot mp
glowing fountains of light,
And the cr.l ckling flames played hide and seek
with the shadows hid away
In the yawning mouth of the chimney. 50 aw-
sulls huge and gray.
Or icaped out on the red brick hearth and
danced with the shadows there,
While the old wheel kept the best of time in
the firelight's ftful glare.
Singing and spinning
Spinning and singing,
Sow fast and faster it turns.
And the flames leaped high
And the shadows danced by
When grandmother used TO spin.
The wool on the old brown spindle was as
snowy as the snowdrifts outside
And seemed as we watched 1t whirling round
like SNOWFALL taking 4 ride.
Then winding the yarn in big round ball. so
firm and soft and white,
Ne were almost afraid il would really melt IN
the heat OF the open freight.
But tossed it about and watched II grow as
the wheel kept buzzing round,
And laughed and ronped in the ruddy glow
and thought il the sweetest sound.
Spinning and singing,
Singing and spinning,
Now fast and faster il turns,
And the flames ieaped high
And the shadows danced by
When grandmother used to spin.
