With fingers weary and worn, 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.”. Thomas Hood

And my clay-coloured motherlessness rangily reclines; come on home now! All my bones are dolorous with vines! Joanna Newsom
