Laura rose with Lizzie :
12 lines✦
etched in honey, milked the cows,Aired and set to rights the house,‘Kneaded cakes of whitest wheat, Cakes for dainty mouths to eat, Next churned butter, whipped up cream,Fed their poultry, sat and sewed ;Talked as modest maidens should :Lizzie with an open heart, Laura in an absent dream, One content, one sick in part ; One warbling for the mere bright day’s delight,One longing for the night.
