SPINNING.

SPINNING.
Like blind SIMMER In the sun,
| tread my days;
| know that all the threads will run
Appointed ways;
i know each day will bring its task,
And being blind, no more | ask.
Il do not know the use or name
OF that I spin;
I only know that some one came,
And laid within
Ny hand the thread, and said, rSince
Are blind, but one thing you can do"
Sometimes the threads so rough and
And tangled fly,
! know wild storms are sweeping past,
And fear that
Shall fall, but dare not try to find
A safer place, since | am blind
I know not why, but am sure
That tint and place.
In SONS great fabric to endure,
Past time and race,
My threads will have; SO from tbs
first,
Thopgh blind, never felt accursed.
think perhaps this trust has sprung
From one short word
Said over me when | was young
So young, heard
II, knowing not that Gods name
signed
My brow, and sealed me his, though
blind.
But whether this be seal or sign
Within. without,
| never doubt
know He set me here, and still
And glad and blind, I wait His will.
But listen, listen, day by day,
To hear their tread,
Who bear the finished web away,
And cut the thread,
And bring Gods message in the sun
Thou poor blind spinner, work /,
done"
