Tesss Lament

...ll o'm said 
 A standing by the durn. 
I wonder what they say o's now, 
And if they know my lot; and how 
She feels who milks my favourite cow, 
 And takes my place at churn! 

VI 

It wears me out to think of it, 
 To think of it; 
I cannot bear my fate as writ, 
 I'd have my life unbe; 
Would turn my memory to a blot, 
Make every relic of me rot, 
My doings be as they were not, 
 And what they've brought to me!...Read more of this...

The Raggedy Man

...- an' we all ist laugh
When he drives out our little old wobble-ly calf;
An' nen -- ef our hired girl says he can --
He milks the cow fer 'Lizabuth Ann. --
 Ain't he a' awful good Raggedy Man?
 Raggedy! Raggedy! Raggedy Man!


W'y, The Raggedy Man -- he's ist so good,
He splits the kindlin' an' chops the wood;
An' nen he spades in our garden, too,

Three Women

...es.
I am the center of an atrocity.
What pains, what sorrows must I be mothering?

Can such innocence kill and kill? It milks my life.
The trees wither in the street. The rain is corrosive.
I taste it on my tongue, and the workable horrors,
The horrors that stand and idle, the slighted godmothers
With their hearts that tick and tick, with their satchels of instruments.
I shall be a wall and a roof, protecting.
I shall be a sky and a hill of good: O let me be!

When the Children Come Home

...till the childer come home.' 

She mends all the fences, she grubs, and she ploughs, 
She drives the old horse and she milks all the cows, 
And she sings to herself as she thatches the stack, 
`Sure I'll keep the ould place till the childer come back.' 

It is five weary years since her old husband died; 
And oft as he lay on his deathbed he sighed 
`Sure one man can bring up ten children, he can, 
An' it's strange that ten sons cannot keep one old man.' 

Whenever the scowl...Read more of this...
