Alternate Author Name(s): Ireland, Baron
Subject(s): Love; Love - Complaints


She loves me!
Wherefore I walk lightfoot
On cushioning summer clouds
And shout my gladness
To the sun.
What means to me now
The sordid lure of gold
Or the wolf-snarls of traders
In the market-place?
Bah!

Nay -- to-night my love and I
Shall fill our souls with music
And upon the sob of 'cellos
And the pulsing of violins
Through the great hall
We shall be lifted
Out of the Material into the Ineffable!
* * * * * * * *
Whazzat?
Six-and-a-half for two tickets?
Keep 'em, you robber!
