IN THE BUSY KITCHEN
May i have eyes to see Beauty in this plain room Where I am called to be; The scent of clean blue smoke, The old pans polished bright, The kettle’s chuckling joke, The red fire’s lovely light. May I have wit to take The joy that round me les, Whether I brew or bake, May my work make me wise.
When twilight folds the earth, May I have grace to smile And count the day’s good worth. An old song in my soul And quiet in my breast, To welcome tranquilly The night’s old gift of rest, And gather strength to face To-morrow’s busi strife. Here, in this humble place, May my labour bless my life.
