Description
Excerpt from Poems: Crowded Moments in a Wanderer''s Dreams
Oh, papa, I wish that you were well, And now that the day is through, I will go get my little chair, For I want to talk with you. I''ve sold my candy all, And some matches, too, today; But, papa, why do you worry so, When you are old and gray?
Papa, are my brothers safe, In this night so dark and long? I heard someone say the other day, That they all went wrong. Papa, papa, where is Henry tonight? Is he somewhere studying his books, Or is he a?oat in this wicked world, Out with the gamblers and crooks?
Papa, where is Lily now? Why did she go all alone? Does she live tonight in a cottage ours, Or in a mansion of stone? Once she told me she was going To cross the ocean blue, And asked that ever I should be Kind to mamma and you.
When mamma died a year ago She stroked my golden hair. Standing beside her bedside here I heard her dying prayer. She turned and wept, I heard her That only they might be, Brought home as gentle, meek and As they put out to sea.
