Margaret

Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)


MOTHER, I cannot mind my wheel;
My fingers ache, my lips are dry;
Oh, if you felt the pain I feel!
But oh, who ever felt as I!
No longer could I doubt him true,	5
All other men may use deceit;
He always said my eyes were blue,
And often swore my lips were sweet.
