Old Fear of Father |
| I love my boys more than I love my girl |
| Try not to show it, she knows like I knew |
| I have my father’s legs, long kissed with summer |
| Old fear of Father keeps me in Mother’s mirror |
| Sing to my boys, back to your own bed, girl |
| Cold fills the bottle, he’ll get the swaddling and my milk |
| I have my mother’s gaze, pastures and towers |
| Soft drawing him near to her down cast severe |
| Oh, Valerie, Valerie |
| Know the hand that feeds you |
| The hand that keeps you |
| The hand that owns the keys |
| Keeps you pretty |
| Don’t look to me to hold you |
| I shape and mould you |
| So you can get the ring |
| While you’re still pretty |
| Rock-a-bye boys, run along daddy’s girl |
| You’re blushing youthful dewy bloom cut from my tree |
| You’ll learn your mother’s game |
| Seal your reflection for his affection |
| Now against me, you’ll play |
| So on it goes, never to trust a girl |
| All sistren rivals to be expected in his world |
| Valerie |
| Know the hand that feeds you |
| The hand that keeps you |
| Can put you on the street |
| At least you’re pretty |
| Don’t look to me for sweetness |
| This borrowed dress holds nothing sweet |
