DRAB STREET by JEAN HOLMES MINTY

First Line: I RATHER LOVE A DRAB STREET
Last Line: LOVE, AND LOVELY THINGS.
Subject(s): LOVE; POVERTY; STREETS; AVENUES;

I rather love a drab street,
Shabby doors and all,
Windows showing dusty dolls,
Fruit and flower stall,
Many children, many dogs;
Here my own heart sings
For the poetry it knows,
Love, and lovely things.
