THREE LITTLE GIRLS
(For My Sisters)
Marianne, Madeline, Alys,Three little girls I used to seeTwo months ago,Three little girls with fathers killedAnd mothers lost,Three little girls with broken shoesAnd hard, sharp coughs,Three little girls who sold us sweetsToo near the shells,Three little girls with names of saintsAnd angels' eyes,Three little girls where are you now?Marianne, Madeline, Alys.
