Dorothy Parker - The Maid-Servant At The InnDorothy Parker - The Maid-Servant At The Inn
Work rating: Low


"It`s queer," she said; "I see the light  As plain as I beheld it then, All silver-like and calm and bright-  We`ve not had stars like that again! "And she was such a gentle thing  To birth a baby in the cold. The barn was dark and frightening-  This new one`s better than the old. "I mind my eyes were full of tears,  For I was young, and quick distressed, But she was less than me in years  That held a son against her breast. "I never saw a sweeter child-  The little one, the darling one!- I mind I told her, when he smiled  You`d know he was his mother`s son. "It`s queer that I should see them so-  The time they came to Bethlehem Was more than thirty years ago;  I`ve prayed that all is well with them."
