First Line: Waves are the sea's white daughters
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Pain; Suffering; Misery
Waves are the sea's white daughters,
And raindrops the children of rain,
But why for my shimmering body
Have I a mother like Pain?
Night is the mother of stars,
And wind the mother of foam,
The world is brimming with beauty,
But I must stay at home.
