mother poem

they in the darkness gather and ask
i bid them all farewell
old wine to drink
stand here by my side
in their ragged regimentals
desolate and lone
when sea-winds pierced our solitudes
here lies a most beautiful lady
shades of night were falling fast
the old west, the old time
over the river they beckon to me
