- | |
I cried at Pity not at Pain | B |
I heard a Woman say | C |
Poor Child and something in her voice | D |
Convicted me of me | E |
- | |
So long I fainted to myself | F |
It seemed the common way | C |
And Health and Laughter Curious things | G |
To look at like a Toy | H |
- | |
To sometimes hear Rich people buy | I |
And see the Parcel rolled | J |
And carried I supposed to Heaven | K |
For children made of Gold | J |
- | |
But not to touch or wish for | L |
Or think of with a sigh | I |
And so and so had been to me | E |
Had God willed differently | E |
- | |
I wish I knew that Woman's name | M |
So when she comes this way | C |
To hold my life and hold my ears | N |
For fear I hear her say | C |
- | |
She's sorry I am dead again | O |
Just when the Grave and I | I |
Have sobbed ourselves almost to sleep | P |
Our only Lullaby | I |
