PROSPECTOR'S WIFE, by FAITH TURNER 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PROSPECTOR by IRENE WELCH GRISSOM SOURDOUGH STORY by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE SPECIAL EFFECTS by JAMES GALVIN MADMAN OF THE SOUTH SIDE by CLARENCE MAJOR TO SHAKESPEARE by DAVID HARTLEY COLERIDGE SONNET: 9 by EDNA ST.
