Sentiment .... Industry. 
Broomcorn the emblem of industry rare 
Has modesty’s mien, and a busy air; 
What art thou doing, young Deborah, say ? 
Sweeping the cobwebs of error away ? 
Kemoving the dust from thy busy brain ? 
Dismissing Eolly with her silly train ? 
Ho idle intruders must tarry here now ; 
I plainly can see by the frown on thy brow. 
Aye! sweep away, maiden, theji shalt thou see. 
How a beautiful soul of purity, 
Can overcome error, and falsehood, too, 
By loving only the good and the true. 
Pure thoughts and sweet fancies shall dwell with 
thee; 
Thy mind shall ever be noble and free; 
If thou It search for truth, and its rich fruits glean,— 
Sweep away, Deborah! make thy heart clean.
