Robert Graves - The Cupboard
Work rating: Low

Mother: What`s in that cupboard, Mary?

Mary: Which cupboard, mother dear?

Mother: The cupboard of red mahogany
With handles shining clear.

Mary: That cupboard, dearest mother,
With shining crystal handles?
There`s nought inside but rags and jags
And yellow tallow candles.

Mother: What`s in that cupboard, Mary?

Mary: Which cupboard, mother mine?

Mother: That cupboard stands in your sunny chamber,
The silver corners shine.

Mary: There`s nothing there inside, mother,
But wool and thread and flax,
And bits of faded silk and velvet
And candles of white wax.

Mother: What`s in that cupboard, Mary?
And this time tell me true.

Mary: White clothes for an unborn baby, mother..
But what`s the truth to you?
