A NEW BEING by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL

First Line: I KNOW MYSELF NO MORE, MY CHILD
Last Line: AND MANY A WEEPING HEAD.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; GRIEF; MOTHERS; PITY; CHILDHOOD; SORROW; SADNESS;

I KNOW myself no more, my child,
Since thou art come to me,
Pity so tender and so wild
Hath wrapped my thoughts of thee.

These thoughts, a fiery gentle rain,
Are from the Mother shed,
Where many a broken heart hath lain
And many a weeping head.
