Down slant the moonbeams to the floor	A
Through the garret's scented air	B
And show a thin spoked spinning wheel	C
Standing ten years and more	A
Far from the hearth stone's woe and weal	C
The ghost of a lost day's care	B
	-
And over the dreaming spinning wheel	C
That has not stirred so long	D
The weaving spiders spin a veil	C
A silvery shroud for its human zeal	C
And usefulness with their fingers pale	C
The shadowy lights among	E
	-
See in the moonlight cold and gray	F
A thoughtful maiden stands	G
And though she blames not overmuch	H
With her sweet lips the great world's way	F
Yet sad and slow she stoops to touch	H
The still wheel with her hands	G
	-
Forsaken wheel when you first came	I
To clothe young hearts and old	J
Our ancestors were glad to wear	B
Your woof nor knew the shame	I
Which later days have bred to share	B
The homespun's simple fold	J
	-
My lover's gone to win for me	K
With tender pride and care	B
Riches to garnish all our days	L
But love thrives in simplicity	K
As well as in the prouder ways	L
If noble thought is there	B
	-
When our strong grandsires vowed to wed	M
Stout knots of wool and corn	N
Were gathered in and hardly more	A
Of what will count not when we're dead	M
Life brought them to a happy shore	A
Who set their sails at dawn	O
	-
O silent wheel we weave a sad	P
Weak fabric of our days	L
The faith that moved thee long is gone	O
Forgot the couple lass and lad	P
Who loved with courage deeply drawn	O
Heeding but God's delays	L
	-
On thy long loneliness the sun	Q
Blazes in dread the moon	R
Shines with a pitiless threatening hue	S
And while the golden sand grains run	Q
Old age comes nearer and like you	S
I may be standing silent soon	R
	-
Then turn my lover turn your eyes	T
Back to the humble door	A
Waste not the youthful years in hand	U
See where the truest comfort lies	T
And join the freer old time band	U
Nor crave a worldly store	A
	-
In Freedom's land let no one know	V
Even the chain of ease	W
Nor bow to royal Luxury's glance	X
From peasant hands fair art can grow	V
From the rough brow thought springs with lance	X
And helmet God loves these	W
	-
She wept then raised her head and swung	E
The aged wheel with whispering whir	V
And as it turned it softly sung	E
In fancy this response to her	V
	-
I had not spun the sower's shirt	Y
I had not kept the children warm	Z
If I had found a wearing harm	A2
In my monotonous toil alert	Y
	-
To those who wait with eager eyes	T
And ready hands and tender hearts	B2
They find the giant year that parts	B2
Hath forged strong links with paradise	C2
	-
Sigh not that Time doth turn the glass	D2
To let the golden sand grains run	Q
While longer shadows of the sun	Q
Fall o'er the spring time bonny lass	D2
	-
The circumstances of a life	E2
Are little things compared to it	F2
The way love's shown is ever fit	F2
Thank God who gives us love not strife	E2
	-
And if I do not stand beside	G2
The hearth as fifty years ago	V
No current of the years that flow	V
Can rob the radiance from a bride	G2
	-
I know not why the world should change	H2
I know not why my day is done	Q
And yet this limit of my zone	I2
Hints of the limit to all range	H2
	-
Man's progress always alters tint	J2
As mountains move from rose to gray	V
Yet like their shapes love still doth stay	V
The same complete 'tis God's imprint	J2
	-
And yet I dream Time yet may turn	K2
Its wheel to weave the humbler thought	L2
As in old days When joy is sought	L2
Men find it where the hearth fires burn	K2
