POEM ABOUT WOMEN LABOUR

What would happen in Worcestershire in the future:

The corn crops of the county this year school girls shall reap,

This year the Malvern maidens will dip the scabby sheep.

And in the Vale of Evesham the fruit be gathered in

By the hands of loving lasses whose lads march to Berlin.
