Subject(s): Quilts
Grandma made it very plain to me,
How, one memorable morning,
The sun shone in some miraculous way,
And she saw clearly for the first time
The pretty design of her newly finished quilt.
She could not explain it,
But on this morning,
It seemed to her most strange,
Yet gloriously true,
That she, whose groping fingers had stitched patiently
Through long dimness,
Saw the colors of her quilt
And the pretty design.
