A Mother's Nature

Forced exertion-
Ever since I did recollect
The change from outward nature
to rough and tender attachments
Other dangers enough
to your home, country, friends
Neither time nor life to be called too hard...
We shall begin to say,
when a slight division of
pen and half fallen sounds
could have finished you:
woman and verse,
memory and proverbs
