A SPINNING SONG.
The wheel goes ’round the wheel goes 'round. "Without a pause, without a sound. And she sits spinning, spinning, spinning Upon her life that’s just beginning. She’Jl make it bright, she’ll make it fair ; She’ll make it pure as Heaven’s air. ’Twill be a happy one and winning, This web of life that she is spinning. The wheel goes ’round, the wheel goes ’round, "Without a pause, without a sound. And still she’s spinning, spinning, spinning, Altho’ the thread is weak and thinning. She’s made it dark despite her care ; She’s dimmed the weaving here and there. ’T has been a sorry one and sinning. Thi3 web of life that she’s been spinning. —Julie M. Lippman,
