THE ELDER WOMAN'S SONG: 2, FR. KING LEAR'S WIFE by GORDON BOTTOMLEY
First Line: MOTHER, IT IS MY WEDDING-MORN Last Line: FOR I WATCHED THE NIGHT AWAY. Subject(s): MARRIAGE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;
MOTHER, it is my wedding-morn; Come, bring the linen fine, And wash my face with milk so warm Drawn from the young white kine. The blackbird in the apple-tree Was waking ere the day; But I was ready sooner than he, For I watched the night away.
