IN THE CARPENTER'S SHOP, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Mary sat in the corner dreaming Last Line: All the years. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Jesus Christ - Childhood & Youth | |||
MARY sat in the corner dreaming, Dim was the room and low, While in the dusk, the saw went screaming To and fro. Jesus and Joseph toiled together, Mary was watching them, Thinking of kings in the wintry weather At Bethlehem. Mary sat in the corner thinking, Jesus had grown a man; One by one her hopes were sinking As the years ran. Jesus and Joseph toiled together, Mary's thoughts were far-- Angels sang in the wintry weather Under a star. Mary sat in the corner weeping, Bitter and hot her tears-- Little faith were the angels keeping All the years. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAMB, FR.
