Living

Crying, my little one, footsore and weary?

by Christina Rossetti 1830–1894

From Sing-Song (1872/1893)

Living

Crying, my little one, footsore and weary?
Fall asleep, pretty one, warm on my shoulder:
I must tramp on through the winter night dreary,
While the snow falls on me colder and colder.
