CONTRAST, by                    
First Line: One woman may play
Last Line: Than the other one knows.
Subject(s): Sewing


One woman may play,
While another may stitch,
Green velvet or calico --
Does it matter much which?

One woman is lovely,
The other one plain;
One's life is ease,
The other knows pain.

Yet a laddie is waiting
For the woman who sews;
Her heart holds more joy
Than the other one knows.
