English poem
Ii
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
A pair of iron darbies, when next we met, she wore, The expression of her features was more thoughtful than before; And, standing by her side, was he who strove with might and main To soothe her leaving that dear land she ne'er might see again. I saw her but a moment, yet methinks I see her now, As she dropped the judge a curtsey, and he made her a bow.
