Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB ACAAD EFEEF AGAAG ABAAB HIHHJ KLKKM ANAAN| I bend o'er the wheel at my sewing | A |
| I'm spent and I'm hungry for rest | B |
| No curse on the master bestowing | A |
| No hell fires within me are glowing | A |
| Tho' pain flares its fires in my breast | B |
| - | |
| I mar the new cloth with my weeping | A |
| And struggle to hold back the tears | C |
| A fever comes over me sweeping | A |
| My veins and all through me goes creeping | A |
| A host of black terrors and fears | D |
| - | |
| The wounds of the old years ache newly | E |
| The gloom of the shop hems me in | F |
| But six o'clock signals come duly | E |
| O freedom seems mine again truly | E |
| Unhindered I haste from the din | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| Now home again ailing and shaking | A |
| With tears that are blinding my eyes | G |
| With bones that are creaking and breaking | A |
| Unjoyful of rest merely taking | A |
| A seat hoping never to rise | G |
| - | |
| I gaze round me none for a greeting | A |
| By Life for the moment unpressed | B |
| My poor wife lies sleeping and beating | A |
| A lip tune in dream false and fleeting | A |
| My child mumbles close to her breast | B |
| - | |
| I look on them weeping in sorrow | H |
| And think When the Reaper has come | I |
| When finds me no longer the morrow | H |
| What aid then from whom will they borrow | H |
| The crust of dry bread and the home | J |
| - | |
| What harbors that morrow I wonder | K |
| For them when the breadwinner's gone | L |
| When sudden and swift as the thunder | K |
| The bread bond is broken asunder | K |
| And friend in the world there is none | M |
| - | |
| A numbness my brain is o'ertaking | A |
| To sleep for a moment I drop | N |
| Then start In the east light is breaking | A |
| I drag myself ailing and aching | A |
| Again to the gloom of the shop | N |
