I Cannot Call Her Mother Poem Fragment from a Wedding
A fragmented poem recalls a child’s sorrow at a marriage, unable to call the new wife mother. The speaker contrasts tears with smiles as a brother greets the chosen, and a mother’s memory haunts the picture of the past. The piece sits amid miscellaneous curiosities and short notices in a historical newspaper page.
