Lyrics
I tie my Hat-I crease my Shawl.
Life's little duties I do-precisely,
As the very least Were infinite โ to me.
I put new Blossoms In the Glass,And throw the old away.
I push a petal from my Gown That anchored there, I weigh.
The time 'twill be till six o'clock I have so much to do,
And yet Existence some way back, Stopped struck my ticking through.
We cannot put Ourself away As a completed Man Or Woman,
When the Errand's done, We came to Flesh โ upon.
There may be Miles on Miles of pointless Action harder far,
To simulate is stinging work To cover what we are.
From Science and from Surgery,
To Telescopic Eyes
To bear on us unshaded
the comforts we devise
