DESERT WIFE by NELLIE COOLEY ALDER

First Line: I HAVE SHED COLD TEARS SO STERILE THEY WERE SALTLESS
Last Line: HOW CAN SUCH FRUITLESS YEARS IN ANY MANNER MAGNIFY MY GOD?
Subject(s): DESERTS; DROUGHT; FOOD & EATING; GRIEF; SORROW; SADNESS;
I have shed cold tears so sterile they were saltless;
I have lived bleak years so futile they were faultless.
How can such tasteless tears bring resurrection to this mortal clod?
How can such fruitless years in any manner magnify my God?
