SONG, by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, yes, I love you still, my lad
Last Line: I love him still, my lad.
Subject(s): Love
First Line: Oh, yes, I love you still, my lad
Last Line: I love him still, my lad.
Subject(s): Love
OH, yes, I love you still, my lad,
For that is woman's way;
A whole life long of tenderness
For the fancy of a day.
I gave you golden loyalty
And starry faith to wear.
You gave me pearls that were my tears,
And silver in my hair.
You gave me something less than good,
I gave the best I had.
But yes -- the man I thought you were,
I love him still, my lad.
