THE MILL.
For an Irish Tune.
- WINDING and grinding
- Round goes the mill:
- Winding and grinding
- Should never stand still.
- Ask not if neighbor
- Grind great or small:
- Spare not your labor,
- Grind your wheat all.
- Winding and grinding round goes the mill:
- Winding and grinding should never stand still.
- Winding and grinding
- Work through the day,
- Grief never minding—
- Grind it away!
- What though tears dropping
- Rust as they fall?
- Have no wheel stopping—
- Work comforts all.
- Winding and grinding round goes the mill:
- Winding and grinding should never stand still.
