ON ACCIDENTAL EXCHANGE OF OPERA HATS WITH JOHN MASEFIELD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: O friendly hat - hat of my friend
Last Line: Be crushed once more against his heart!
Alternate Author Name(s): Sinjohn, John
Subject(s): Hats; Masefield, John (1878-1967)


O FRIENDLY hat -- hat of my friend!
And must I pack thee up and end
That brief encircling halo torn
From noble Masefield's peg, and worn
In ecstasy one hour? Dear hat!
So much more beautiful than that
I left behind -- from me depart!
Be crushed once more against his heart!
