THE LACEMAKER CA 1665

The light as usual enters from the left
    To fill the almost empty room;
Her hands, practiced, meticulous, and deft,
    Attend the rich laces on her loom.

In detailed miniature she pours her fine
    Devotion, soul, and female heart.
Her eyes, like Milton's, someday may go blind
    From the long peering of her art.
