Subject(s): Wandering & Wanderers
SWEET vagabond, I hardly know
Your mother's tongue, your father's name,
For even as a dream you came,
And even as a dream you go.
My heart shall hold your gift of love
Dear, till I sleep the ground beneath,
Though the white scallops of your teeth
Shall be my only proof thereof.
