about

This piece references the Margaret Widdemer poem "A Christmas Doll" (1914) - an indictment of child labor. A little girl asks her new doll :
Smiling dolly with the eyes of blue,
Was it lovely where they fashioned you,
Were there laughing gnomes, and did the breeze
Toss the snow along the Christmas trees?
But the doll replies:
Tiny hands and chill, and thin rags torn,
Faces drawn with waking night and morn,
Eyes that strained until they could not see,
Little mother, where they fashioned me...
