Great work, well done, that makes him praise her name
And long to make as great a one his own!
And how shall all the children of the world,
Feeling all mothers love them, loving all,
Rise up and call her blessed!
This shall be.
SIX HOURS A DAY.
Six hours a day the woman spends on food!
Six mortal hours a day....
With fire and water toiling, heat and cold;
