The Seamstress of Old : History

written by Poet : EC


Nimble hands, even at late nights
that's her secret weapon, she sews
actually her entire life is her sewing
makes her independant, except from work
stooping over the clothes of rich people
she earns her daily bread and a place to live
sadly enough also her humped back
her bad eyesight and early aging

When love came her way she didn't see it
how could she, stooping over her work
the Grim Reaper nearly passed her by
what had been a pretty girl turned shadowy
her nimble fingers didn't save her youth
