The supper is over the hearth is swept	A
And in the wood fire's glow	B
The children cluster to hear a tale	C
Of that time so long ago	B
	-
When grandmamma's hair was golden brown	D
And the warm blood came and went	E
O'er the face that could scarce have been sweeter then	F
Than now in its rich content	E
	-
The face is wrinkled and careworn now	G
And the golden hair is gray	H
But the light that shone in the young girl's eyes	I
Has never gone away	H
	-
And her needles catch the fire's light	J
As in and out they go	B
With the clicking music that grandma loves	K
Shaping the stocking's toe	B
	-
And the waking children love it too	L
For they know the stocking song	M
Brings many a tale to grandma's mind	N
Which they shall hear ere long	M
	-
But it brings no story of olden time	O
To grandma's heart tonight	J
Only a ditty quaint and short	P
Is sung by the needles bright	J
	-
'Life is a stocking ' grandma says	Q
'And yours is just begun	R
But I am kniting the toe of mine	S
And my work is almost done	R
	-
'With merry hearts we begin to knit	T
And the ribbing is almost play	H
Some are gay colored and some are white	J
And some are ashen gray	H
	-
'But most are made of many a hue	L
With many a stitch set wrong	M
And many a row to be sadly ripped	U
Ere the whole is fair and strong	M
	-
'There are long plain stretches without a break	V
That in youth are hard to bear	W
And many a weary tear is dropped	X
As we fashion the heel with care	W
	-
'But the saddest happiest time is that	Y
We court and yet would shun	R
When our Heavenly Father breaks the thread	Z
And says our work is done '	-
	-
And the children come to say good night	J
With tears in their bright young eyes	I
While in grandma's lap with broken thread	Z
The finished stocking lies	I
