Analysis of Sometimes I am too tired
Lesbia Harford 1891 (Brighton) – 1927 (Australia)
Sometimes I am too tired
To think of you.
Today was such a day,
But then I knew
Today, for certain, you'd be weary too
You there in hospital
With health to seek—
And me at my machine
Too tired to speak—
We're very funny lovers of a week.
