How many times these low feet staggered,
       Only the soldered mouth can tell;
       Try! can you stir the awful rivet?
       Try! can you lift the hasps of steel?
       Stroke the cool forehead, hot so often,
       Lift, if you can, the listless hair;
       Handle the adamantine fingers
       Never a thimble more shall wear.
       Buzz the dull flies on the chamber window;
       Brave shines the sun through the freckled pane;
       Fearless the cobweb swings from the ceiling --
       Indolent housewife, in daisies lain!
