track notes from the album :

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
