Hemming


A pocket handkerchief to hem. 

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! 

How many stitches it will take 

Before it's done, I fear. 

Yet set a stitch and then a stitch. 

And stitch and stitch away. 

Till stitch by stitch the hem is done. 

And after work is play. 

— Christina G. Rossetti

Dear Lillibeth,

Thank you for sharing such a delightful poem! I love Christina G. Rosetti, but I had never seen this poem before. We collect "homemaking" poems, songs, and stories.

Love,

Marqueta
