THE COWSLIP by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: IT BRINGS MY MOTHER BACK TO ME
Last Line: THE MOTHER AND THE BOY.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; MOTHERS & SONS;
It brings my mother back to me
Thy frail familiar form to see,
Which was her homely joy;
And strange that one so weak as thou
Should lift the veil that sunders now
The mother and the boy.
