What Has Happened To Lulu 4q4k5u

What Has Happened to Lulu? What has happened to Lulu, mother? What has happened to Lu? There’s nothing in the bed but an old rag-doll And by its side a shoe Why is her window wide, mother, The curtain flapping free, And only a circle on the dusty shelf Where her money used to be? Why do you turn your head, mother And why do the tear-drops fall? And why do you crumple that note on the fire And say it is nothing at all? I woke to voices late last night, I heard an engine roar. Why do you tell me the things I heard Were a dream and nothing more? I heard somebody cry, mother, In anger or in pain, But now I ask you why, mother, You say it was a gust of rain. Why do you wander about as though You don’t know what to do? What has happened to Lulu, mother? What has happened to Lu?
