More flour then she sifted
And kneaded well the dough,
And in the waiting oven
The loaves of bread did go.
The mother watched the baking,
And turned the loaves, each one,
Until at last, rejoicing,
She said, "My bread is done!"

1. "The farmer and the miller
Have work'd," the mother said,
"And got the flour ready,
So I will make the bread."
She scooped from out the barrel
The flour white as snow,
And in her sieve she put it

Then covered it and left it

Until at last, rejoicing,

Till the cream to butter turn
Dasher must not stay.

Press, press, press;
All the milk must be
From the golden butter now
Pressed out carefully.

Make it smooth and round.

Taste, oh! taste,
This is very nice;
Spread it on the children's bread,
