Don't put up my Thread and Needle - I'll begin to Sew When the Birds begin to whistle - Better Stitches - so - These were bent - my sight got crooked - When my mind - is plain I'll do seams - a Queen's endeavor Would not blush to own - Hems - too fine for Lady's tracing To the sightless Knot - Tucks - of dainty interspersion - Like a dotted Dot - Leave my Needle in the furrow - Where I put it down - I can make the zigzag stitches Straight - when I am strong - Till then - dreaming I am sewing Fetch the seam I missed - Closer - so I - at my sleeping - Still surmise I stitch - | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RUINS OF CORINTH by ANTIPATER OF SIDON STELLA AND FLAVIA by MARY BARBER THE GOD OF NOON by IVAN ALEKSEYEVITCH (ALEXEYVICH) BUNIN GRACE AFTER MEAT (1) by ROBERT BURNS THE AGELESS CHRIST by B.
