Analysis of Mothers Bell
Mothers bell wrung thrice
An hour of need
Drop your doing
Tend the hour
Mother’s bell wrung thrice
last century
the century of greed
mother told me
Mother’s bell wrung thrice
No more last night
Idling on the shelf
Wringing in my ear
Mother, if I wrung your bell
Thrice, this century
drop your undoing
tend me
in the century
Of need.
