They think because I sew and bake
And sweep a white pine floor
I never think of winding roads
Somewhere beyond my door!
They think me deaf to messages
Of winds in trees that bend
And away in sheer abandonment
While all I do is mend!
'Tis true, my body dwells at home
While a white shoreline calls
The roving heart and soul of me
Beyond these humble walls!
And so I sing and bake my bread
And baste my narrow seams
But while I put my loaves in pans
My heart still, is light with dreams!
