Classic and Contemporary Poetry
THE DIVA, by S. F. BATCHELDER
First Line: Gone are her bird-notes, thin she sings, and flat
Last Line: To-day, alas, they only pity patti.
First Line: Gone are her bird-notes, thin she sings, and flat
Last Line: To-day, alas, they only pity patti.
GONE are her bird-notes, thin she sings, and flat,
Enough to craze Concone or Scarlatti.
Where once she made our hearts go pit-a-pat,
To-day, alas, they only pity Patti.
