A.M.W. BALL American poet and writer (19th century) Backward, flow backward, O full tide of years!   I am so weary of toil and of tears,     Toil without recompense--tears all in vain,       Take them and give me my childhood again.         I have grown weary of dust and decay,           Weary of sowing for others to reap;             Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep.       - Rock me to Sleep, Mother,         also attributed to Elizabeth Akers Allen, see "Northern Monthly", vol. II, 1868         [Time] Backward, turn backward, then time in your flight;   Make me a child again just for tonight.     Mother, come back from the echoeless shore,       Take me again to your heart as of yore.       - Rock me to Sleep, Mother [Time] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
