Notes About The Poem

Semper, Mater Vester, latin for "Always, Your Mother"

Semper, Mater Vester

Come sit with me, my darlings, 
beneath this apple tree.

Come sit with me, my sweethearts,
Do you not sense? It's me.

Come sit with me, my lovelies, 
all seasons of all years.

Come sit with me, my precious ones.
Come sit with me, my dears.

Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Gershon. It's not often we get to practice our latin.
