RESTLESSNESS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Life with his chin on my shoulder
Last Line: Strange murmurous voice in my ear!
Alternate Author Name(s): Davis, Fannie Stearns


LIFE with his chin on my shoulder
Whispers into my ear.
His voice is like winds, and cities,
And seas, and sorrow, and fear.

It troubles and wearies me always.
Nothing he says comes clear.
-- Sharp chin on my aching shoulder!
Strange murmurous voice in my ear!
