My friend and former LLL Leader Grace Elliott James asked me to ask you all
about the following poem.  Is this the whole poem or is there more?  Is the
book available anywhere?

Please answer her at [log in to unmask]   Thanks,     Nancy

The Nursing Mother by Marie Ponsot
found in MOTHER TO DAUGHTER, DAUGHTER TO MOTHER, edited by Tillie Olson

Cleaning and scrubbing
Can wait for tomorrow
For babies grow up
We've learned to our sorrow.

So quiet down, cobwebs
Dust, go to sleep.
I'm nursing (rocking?) my baby
And babies don't keep.
