“Ploughing, digging, and hoeing;

Cooking, ironing, mowing;

Cutting, sawing, and sewing;

Holding the embers glowing;

Speeding the vessel’s going;

Music, when horns are blowing;

Money, when debts are owing;

Bridges, where streams are flowing,

Lace, where finery’s showing;

Greenhouse, where plants are growing—”
