Stitch—stitch—stitch
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,—
Sewing at once, with a double thread,
A shroud as well as a shirt.
Thomas Hood
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,—
Sewing at once, with a double thread,
A shroud as well as a shirt.
Thomas Hood
A sweatshop is a factory with difficult or dangerous working conditions.
Quotes
- Work—work—work
Till the brain begins to swim!
Work—work—work
Till the eyes are heavy and dim!
Seam, and gusset, and band,
Band, and gusset, and seam,—
Till over the buttons I fall asleep,
And sew them on in a dream!
O Men, with sisters dear!
O Men, with mothers and wives!
It is not linen you're wearing out,
But human creatures' lives!
Stitch—stitch—stitch
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,—
Sewing at once, with a double thread,
A shroud as well as a shirt.
- Thomas Hood, The Song of the Shirt (1843)
