Walter Savage Landor

Mother, I cannot Mind my Wheel

Mother, I cannot mind my wheel;
        My fingers ache, my lips are dry:
Oh! if you felt the pain I feel!
        But Oh, who ever felt as I!
 
No longer could I doubt him true;
        All other men may use deceit:
He always said my eyes were blue,
        And often swore my lips were sweet.
