Sickness In Winter

Title:     Sickness In Winter
Author: Herbert Edward Palmer [More Titles by Palmer]

Once as I on sick-bed lay
I woke crying for my mother.
But she was eight hundred miles away,
Leagues and leagues of sea between,
And the land all frozen hard and gray.

She was so very old, I ween
She could not have moved a mile that day;
For the land was frozen stiff and gray,
And the menacing seas rolled all between.

[The end]
Herbert Edward Palmer's poem: Sickness In Winter
