“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—”
