Madeline S. Bridges quote: "The maiden with her wheel of old Sat by the fire to spin, While lightly through her careful hold The flax slid out and in. To-day, her distaff, rock and reel Far out of sight are hurled, For now the maiden with her wheel Goes spinning round the world."

The maiden with her wheel of old
Sat by the fire to spin,
While lightly through her careful hold
The flax slid out and in.

To-day, her distaff, rock and reel
Far out of sight are hurled,
For now the maiden with her wheel
Goes spinning round the world.

Copied!
