THE IMMIGRANT, by MARGUERITE CHAPMAN

First Line: Beyond the empty cot, the lawn
Last Line: Into bleak eternities.
Subject(s): Despair
Beyond the empty cot, the lawn;
Beyond the lawn, the leafless birch;
Beyond the birch, the cheerless street;
Subdued the people stroll to church.
Sadly she turns her gaze within
Surely the later years to see
And she peers on through her heart
Into bleak eternities.
