Eugene Field - Of Blessed MemoryEugene Field - Of Blessed Memory
Work rating: Low


I often wonder mother loves to creep Up to the garret where a cupboard stands, And sit upon the musty floor and weep, Holding a baby’s dresses in her hands. I often wonder grandma loves to sit Alone where hangs a picture on the wall A handsome face across whose features flit The phantoms of a love she would recall. I wonder, too, that sister, pale and sad, Waits at the gate, and, waiting, seems to hear The footfalls of the brave, heroic lad Who nevermore may woo her waiting there. ENVOY The little lips in voiceless death are sealed; The haughty squire seeks now a lasting sleep; The lover’s bones bleach on a battle-field And broken-hearted women live to weep.
