A YEAR’S SPINNING. RY ELIZABETH BACEKTT XJKOWKTKO. lle listened .it the porch that day. To hear tho wheel go on, and on, And when it stopped, ran back away, While through the door he bronght the sun ; But now my spinning is all done. He sat beside me, with an oath That love ne’er ended, once begun ; I smiled—believing for us both What was the truth for only one, And now my spinning is all done. My mother cursed me: that I heard A young man’s wooing as I spun. Thanks, cruel mother, for. that word, i'or I have since a harder known ; And now my spinning is all done. I thought—O God I—mv1 —mv first-born's cry Both voices to my ear would drown.” I listened in my agony— It was the snence made me groan ! And now my spinning is ali done. Bury me ’twixt my mothei’s crave. Who cursed ine‘oll her death-bed lone. , And my dear baby—(God it save !) Who not to bless me would not mean, » And new my spinning is all done. A stone upon my heart anrl head, But no name written on the stone * Sweet neighbors i whisper low instead, ‘ This sinner was a loving one ’ And now her spinning is ail done * And let the door r jar remain. In case he should pn-s bv anon ; And leave the wheel out very plain, That ir/, when passing In the sun, May sue the spinning is all done !
