TESTO DEL LIED

"Mother, I cannot mind my wheel"
di Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)

Mother, I cannot mind my wheel;
My fingers ache, my lips are dry:
O, if you feel the pain I feel!
But O, 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.
