Keys a-tapping ...

Hammers rapping
Shears a-cutting
Whitewash brushing

Dishes clattering ...
(Sometimes shattering)
Pots, pans, utensils, clanging ...
Some chains around posts jangling

All sounds of people staying busy
While others are quite motion-free
But the gauge of accomplishment rung
Is not the sound made, but what's done
