(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

I rise in the dawn， and I kneel and blow

Till the seed of the fire flicker¹ and glow；

And then I must scrub and bake and sweep

Till stars are beginning to blink and peep；

And the young lie long and dream in their bed

Of the matching of ribbons for bosom² and head，

And their day goes over in idleness，

And they sigh if the wind but lift a tress：

While I must work because I am old，

And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold.
