I saw the holy city [or the church]… coming down from God … prepared as a bride… for her husband.—Rev. xxi. 2.
Song of the Shirt (The), by T. Hood (1843). It begins—
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread.
Stitch, stitch, stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
She sang “The song of the shirt.”
