Rhyme Scheme: A BA B C DC D E FE F G HG H I JI J K LK L M NM N| As I calmly sat and span | A |
| - | |
| Toiling with all zeal | B |
| Lo a young and handsome man | A |
| - | |
| Pass'd my spinning wheel | B |
| - | |
| And he praised what harm was there | C |
| - | |
| Sweet the things he said | D |
| Praised my flax resembling hair | C |
| - | |
| And the even thread | D |
| - | |
| He with this was not content | E |
| - | |
| But must needs do more | F |
| And in twain the thread was rent | E |
| - | |
| Though 'twas safe before | F |
| - | |
| And the flax's stonelike weight | G |
| - | |
| Needed to be told | H |
| But no longer was its state | G |
| - | |
| Valued as of old | H |
| - | |
| When I took it to the weaver | I |
| - | |
| Something felt I start | J |
| And more quickly as with fever | I |
| - | |
| Throbb'd my trembling heart | J |
| - | |
| Then I bear the thread at length | K |
| - | |
| Through the heat to bleach | L |
| But alas I scarce have strength | K |
| - | |
| To the pool to reach | L |
| - | |
| What I in my little room | M |
| - | |
| Span so fine and slight | N |
| As was likely I presume | M |
| - | |
| Came at last to light | N |
