The Fatal Errand Poem by Joseph Skipsey

The Fatal Errand



MY mother bade me go. I went:
But beat my heart, ere I returned,
A rat-tat-tan, and what it meant
Too soon I to my sorrow learned.

Her errand to the youth I ran,
But had she me some other bade,
I had not felt that rat-tat-tan,
Nor wept to think I ever had.
