Gather them grapes from the hanging vine.

There are little feet that are soft and slow,

Follow you whithersoever you go.

There’s a little face at your workshop door,

A little one sits down on your floor:

Holds His hands for the shavings curled,

The soft little hands that have made the world.

Mary calls you: the meal is ready:

You swing the Child to your shoulder steady.

I see your quiet smile as you sit
