3 Staff Directory Poetry Corner Child From Another Land Dear child from another land, far across the sea I know a hundred ancestors, have preceded thee. So if the questions in your solemn eyes, at sometime later resort in sighs of who am I, and where is she? Who could not keep her claim on me. Then surely thou must know, of love from one, who`ll watch thee grow. By Rosemary P.
