My hands I dip, my head I duck it;

And if the water plenty be

I sometimes wet some more of me.

This is my kitchen, where you will find

All things pleasant and to your mind;

Against the wall in orderly pairs—

One, two,—one, two,—observe my chairs.

In the middle of the room my table stands:

I would not move it for many lands.

My basins and bowls are all in their places;
