Samuel Lover Quote

A baby was sleeping,
Its mother was weeping,
For her husband was far on the wild-raging sea.

A baby was sleeping, Its mother was weeping, For her husband was far on the wild-raging sea.

A baby was sleeping, Its mother was weeping, For her husband was far on the wild-raging sea.

A baby was sleeping, Its mother was weeping, For her husband was far on the wild-raging sea.
