Edna St. Vincent Millay - LamentEdna St. Vincent Millay - Lament
Work rating: Medium


  Listen, children:   Your father is dead.   From his old coats   I`ll make you little jackets;   I`ll make you little trousers   From his old pants.   There`ll be in his pockets   Things he used to put there,   Keys and pennies   Covered with tobacco;   Dan shall have the pennies   To save in his bank;   Anne shall have the keys   To make a pretty noise with.   Life must go on,   And the dead be forgotten;   Life must go on,   Though good men die;   Anne, eat your breakfast;   Dan, take your medicine;   Life must go on;   I forget just why.
