Poems (Craik)/The Mill
INDING and grinding
Round goes the mill:
Winding and grinding
Should never stand still.
Ask not if neighbor
Grind great or small:
Spare not your labor,
Grind your wheat all.
Winding and grinding round goes the mill:
Winding and grinding should never stand still.
THE MILL.
For an Irish Tune.
INDING and grinding Round goes the mill:
Winding and grinding
Should never stand still.
Ask not if neighbor
Grind great or small:
Spare not your labor,
Grind your wheat all.
Winding and grinding round goes the mill:
Winding and grinding should never stand still.
Winding and grinding
Work through the day,
Grief never minding—
Grind it away!
What though tears dropping
Bust as they fall?
Have no wheel stopping—
Work comforts all.
Winding and grinding round goes the mill:
Winding and grinding should never stand still.
Work through the day,
Grief never minding—
Grind it away!
What though tears dropping
Bust as they fall?
Have no wheel stopping—
Work comforts all.
Winding and grinding round goes the mill:
Winding and grinding should never stand still.
