MOTHER LOVE, by DOROTHY DAVIS
First Line: Some said his sins surpassed belief
Last Line: Behind the bulwark of her heart.
Subject(s): Mothers
First Line: Some said his sins surpassed belief
Last Line: Behind the bulwark of her heart.
Subject(s): Mothers
Some said his sins surpassed belief,
Some that he was devoid of sense;
They called him coward, fool and thief,
And damned him for his insolence.
But she, employing all the proud
Defenses of her woman's art,
Preserved him from the hostile crowd
Behind the bulwark of her heart.
