MY SAXON BLONDE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: They say the dark-eyed maids of spain
Last Line: My love is a golden blonde!
Subject(s): Blondes; Love


THEY say the dark-eyed maids of Spain
Are passionate and fond;
But eyes of blue are tender and true, --
Give me my Saxon blonde!

An arch coquette is the bright brunette,
Blithe and merry and gay;
Her love may last till the Summer is past,
But my blonde's forever and aye!

If bards of old the truth have told,
The Sirens have raven hair;
But o'er the earth, since art had birth,
They paint the Angels fair.

Ah! well, maybe, the truth to see,
A lover is over fond;
And I can't deny -- nor will I try --
My love is a golden blonde!
