    ened at t day,

    to he wheel go on, and on;

    And t stopped, ran back away,

    the sun:

    But now my spinning is all done.

    beside me, h

    t love neer ended, once begun;

    I smiled--believing for us both,

    ruth for only one:

    And now my spinning is all done.

    My mot I heard

    A young mans wooing as I spun:

    t word--

    For I have, since, a harder known!

    And now my spinning is all done.

    4

    I t--O God!--my first-borns cry

    Boto mine ear would drown:

    I listened in mine agony--

    It he silence made me groan!

    And now my spinning is all done.

    5

    Bury me t my mothers grave,

    (h-bed lone)

    And my dead babys (God it save!)

    to bless me,  moan.

    And now my spinning is all done.

    A stone upon my  and head,

    But no name ten on tone!

    S neigead,

    quot;this sinner was a loving one--

    And now ;

    7

    And let the door ajar remain,

    In case he should pass by anon;

    And leave t very plain,--

    t he sun,

    May see the spinning is all done.
