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
