Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind.

and a needle so fine,

Nancy said...

The loom goes click and the loom goes clack
The shuttle flies forward and then flies back
The weaver's so bent that he's like to crack
Such a wearisome trade is the weaver's.

Now that it's made into cloth at last
The ends of work they all make quite fast
The weaver's labors for now have passed
Such a wearisome trade is the weaver's.

The Weaver and the Factory Maid.

NLWooton said...

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Scarborough Fair
Simon and Garfunkel

Are coming for to dance
With pure Egyptian cotton

Robyn Coburn Writer/Artist said...

The girl that I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satin and laces and smell of cologne
Her nails will be polished
And in her hair she'll wear a gardenia

From "Annie Get Your Gun"

He bends to kiss her,
She lifts her face,
The boy in khaki, the girl in lace.
