First Line: Since you have turned unkind
Last Line: Sticks, bones or rags, or you!
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Since you have turned unkind,
Then let the truth be known:
We poets give our praise
To any weed or stone,
Or sulking bird that in
The cold, sharp wind is dumb;
To this, or that, or you --
Whatever's first to come.
You came my way the first,
When the life-force in my blood --
Coming from none knows where --
Had reached its highest flood;
A time when any thing,
No matter old or new,
Could bring my song to birth --
Sticks, bones or rags, or you!
