I AM A LITTLE WEAVER I am a little weaver, and pleasant are my days, My little wheel keeps whirling, and round me kitty plays: My life so calm and happy, so bright and active is, There's no joy I wish for to crown my earthly bliss, My songs are never silent, but in the peaceful night, I always rise to labor when day is growing light, But tho I am so busy, I'm sure I do not care, They rather should be pitied who always idle are. And while my wheel keeps whirling, the hours they seem not long, I feel each day so happy, so lively is my song; My work it never wearies, but gives me strength you see, And I am always cheerful, oh! don't you envy me. I care not for the dainties, nor all the splendid things, That from beyond the ocean the rich man's vessel brings, My daily food so humble, I am content to eat, Nor will I ever envy the wealthy or the great. By E. C. B., copyright by G. P. Read, 1853; S. Brainard Songs. Sheet music and lyrics, Vocal Beauties 6, American Memory website. @work @weaving filename[ AMWEAVER QX  8note Sheet |
