She sweeps with many-colored brooms

She sweeps with many-colored Brooms -
And leaves the shreds behind -
Oh Housewife in the Evening West -
Come back - and dust the Pond -

You dropped a Purple Ravelling in -
You dropped an Amber Thread -
And now you've littered all the East
With Duds of Emerald -

And still she plies Her spotted thrift
And still the scene prevails
Till Dusk ob - structs[^a1] the Diligence -
Or Contemplation fails.
