she didn't survive


In 1880
She married
A working man
With gentle pretensions
Who worked not often
Bedded well
A little one was born
A girl
She struggled
Have no more
Was pronounced
A little one was born
A boy
He thrived
You will kill yourself
Was pronounced
A little one was born
A girl
She died at 2 months
Don't have any more
A stern male voice said
A little one was born
A boy
He died at a few hours
She didn't survive
in 1890
He remarried
