Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEF GHGHII JKJKLL MLMLLL NLNLOO LLLLA| Like a blind spinner in the sun | A |
| I tread my days | B |
| I know that all the threads will run | A |
| Appointed ways | B |
| I know each day will bring its task | C |
| And being blind no more I ask | C |
| - | |
| I do not know the use or name | D |
| Of that I spin | E |
| I only know that some one came | D |
| And laid within | E |
| My hand the thread and said 'Since you | F |
| Are blind but one thing you can do ' | - |
| - | |
| Sometimes the threads so rough and fast | G |
| And tangled fly | H |
| I know wild storms are sweeping past | G |
| And fear that I | H |
| Shall fall but dare not try to find | I |
| A safer place since I am blind | I |
| - | |
| I know not why but I am sure | J |
| That tint and place | K |
| In some great fabric to endure | J |
| Past time and race | K |
| My threads will have so from the first | L |
| Though blind I never felt accurst | L |
| - | |
| I think perhaps this trust has sprung | M |
| From one short word | L |
| Said over me when I was young | M |
| So young I heard | L |
| It knowing not that God's name signed | L |
| My brow and sealed me His though blind | L |
| - | |
| But whether this be seal or sign | N |
| Within without | L |
| It matters not The bond divine | N |
| I never doubt | L |
| I know He set me here and still | O |
| And glad and blind I wait His will | O |
| - | |
| But listen listen day by day | L |
| To hear their tread | L |
| Who bear the finished web away | L |
| And cut the thread | L |
| And bring God's message in the sun | A |
| 'Thou poor blind spinner work is done ' | - |
