ALL MOTHER by ELIZA SPROAT TURNER

First Line: IF I HAD AN EAGLE'S WING
Last Line: THE CROWN MAY GO FOR ME.
Subject(s): LOVE; MOTHERS;

IF I had an eagle's wing,
How grand to sail the sky!
But I should drop to the earth
If I heard my baby cry.
My baby, my darling,
The wings may go for me.

If I were a splendid queen,
With a crown to keep in place,
Would it do for a little wet mouth
To rub all over my face?
My baby, my darling,
The crown may go for me.
