Displayed against the blind in a shadow show,

To Dinda's grave delight.

The needle dips and pokes, the cheerful thread

Runs after, follow-my-leader down the seam:

The patchwork pieces cry for joy together,

O soon to sit as a crown on Dinda's head,

Fulfilment of their dream.

Snippets and odd ends folded by, forgotten,

With camphor on a top shelf, hard to find,

Now wake to this most happy resurrection,
