MARY sat in the corner dreaming, / Dim was the room and low, / While in the dusk, the saw went screaming / To and fro.
Jesus and Joseph toiled together, / Mary was watching them, / Thinking of kings in the wintry weather / At Bethlehem.
Mary sat in the corner thinking, / Jesus had grown a man; / One by one her hopes were sinking / As the years ran.
Jesus and Joseph toiled together, / Mary's thoughts were far -- / Angels sang in the wintry weather / Under a star.
Mary sat in the corner weeping, / Bitter and hot her tears -- / Little faith were the angels keeping / All the years.
