Yon cottager, who weaves at her own door,

Pillow and bobbins all her little store;

Content, though mean; and cheerful if not gay;

Shuffling her threads about the live-long day,

Just ears a scanty pittance; and at night

Lies down sercure, her heart and pocket light.

William Cowper from ‘Truth’ (lines 317-22)
