THE WANDERING BLACK-A-MOOR, by                    
First Line: I am a wandering black-a-moor
Last Line: I am a wandering black-a-moor.
Subject(s): Poverty


I am a wandering black-a-moor,
I wander from shore to shore;
Cast out from my own door
I wander this life over --
I am a wandering black-a-moor.

I am a wandering black-a-moor,
I wander from door to door;
The boon of life is poverty's store
Bequeathed to me wherever I go.
I am a wandering black-a-moor.

I am a wandering black-a-moor,
My home is wherever I go;
Whether in a palace or lowly dale
I drink life's bitters without a wail.
I am a wandering black-a-moor.
