A Year's Spinning By Elizabeth Barrett Browning

A Year’s Spinning written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is telling a story from the point of view of a woman who tells of the struggles she had endured over the course of a year. The poem closely ties in with the view of women during the time-period. During this time period women were primarily homemakers and any unmarried women outside of the ideal age of marriage with no children were considered to be spinsters.
In this poem, a woman is doing her spinning on the porch and eventually a man stops by and is a distraction from her work and brings sunshine into her dark and gloomy life. The spinster eventually falls in love with the man believing that he too is in love with her and that once love begins it never ends, which ended up being false
