Mothers over Silverpoint…
Building blocks when a human is sidestepped
No daily work if it sprouts
This is a step-by-step construction
Express letters, hall was purged
Or plunged into practice
Colleagues stood fast
Reduced to bare dramatics
"A mandolin as well as the harp…"
And mothers over Silverpoint
Deep is their woe
Deep is their woe
Deep is their woe…
(Following greeting
At a bomb victims meeting…)
