THE QUILTING, by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR Poet's Biography First Line: Dolly sits a-quilting by her mother, stitch by stitch Last Line: Love will do the stitching if she'll only be my match. Subject(s): Quilts | ||||||||
DOLLY sits a-quilting by her mother, stich by stitch, Gracious, how my pulses throb, how my fingers itch, While I note her dainty waist and her slender hand, As she matches this and that, she stitches strand by strand. And I long to tell her Life's a quilt and I'm a patch; Love will do the stitching if she'll only be my match. | Other Poems of Interest...THE CENTURY QUILT by MARILYN NELSON MAKING QUILTWORK by SIMON J.
