SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 115 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: I DO NOT LONG FOR FAME
Last Line: "YVONNE LOVED LONG AGO!"
Subject(s): FAME; POETRY & POETS; REPUTATION;
I do not long for fame,
Nor triumph, nor trumpets of praise;
I only wish my name
To endure in the coming days,
When men say, musing at times,
With smiling speech and slow,
"He was a maker of rhymes
Yvonne loved long ago!"
