Hard. and full CT the seams
or labor and the years;
Knotted the knuckles:
And creased and crinkled
The skin on the backs Of them;
Dark veincd and large.
With splotchcs of brown
Between the drawn tendons

Thick the nails and blunted,
Rough and with little ridges
Running the length of them;
Callous the palms.
And lacking all pinkness and prettiness.

Infinite tenderness
And love
Could they tell,
Those hands OF woman
Whose threescore years and ten
Have been passed in doing thelHood
That Women do.

When you with me and with you
Shall cut each doubt and htndfance
