WEAVERS ALL by MINNIE KEITH BAILEY

First Line: AT LIFES LOOM WE WORK
Last Line: WE'D SCARCE BEGUN.
Subject(s): WEAVING & WEAVERS;
At life's loom we work --
Weavers all.
Whether we will or no
The shuttle moves
And the threads we throw
To and fro.

At life's loom we work
Weavers all.
The hours glide fast or slow,
The thread is grey or golden glow;
But the shuttle flies
To and fro.

At life's loom we work
Weavers all.
The shuttle stops; our work is done,
The broken threads drop one by one:
They fold our hands;
We'd scarce begun.
