short lyric

Mother, I cannot mind my Wheel

8 linesSource: PoetryDB

MOTHER, I cannot mind my wheel;

My fingers ache, my lips are dry:

O, if you felt the pain I feel!

But O, who ever felt as I?


No longer could I doubt him true--

All other men may use deceit;

He always said my eyes were blue,

And often swore my lips were sweet.
