The Black Scarf

Early morning in one Mother take a bus ride to the city Blank by its aim No one knows why. She cried as she goes back at two But I could swear Her black handkerchief was on her head. Her children went around her To comfort her There was only sob and deep breath That I could hear. Almost dusk, we take our supper Then sleep to bed.
