Father son and holy ghost
Rooming houses are old women
On a night of the full moon
Now that I am forever with child
What my child learns of the sea
Story books on a kitchen table
Father the year has fallen
Bridge through my windows
When the saints come marching in
And what about the children
For the king and queen of summer
To a girl who knew what side her bread was buttered on.
