PROSPECTOR'S WIFE, by FAITH TURNER

Last Line: To have it come about that way.
Subject(s): Prospecting
First Line: Eight times a mother. In between
Last Line: To have it come about that way.
Subject(s): Prospecting
Eight times a mother. In between,
A household drudge. Haggard, old;
Seeking to earn a steady dollar
To make up for phantom gold.
"Next spring," says she, "we'll build.
Pa'll strike it rich most any day."
But Fate, it seems, has never willed
To have it come about that way.
