WHICH?, by                    
First Line: Blonde or brunette? Shall ethel fair
Last Line: "which!'"
Subject(s): Cupid; Eros


BLONDE or brunette? Shall Ethel fair,
My winter girl, with golden hair,
Or Maud, whose dark brown eyes bewitch, --
My summer girl, -- now govern?
Which?

Shall cold Bostonianism rule?
Shall Love teach Browning in his school?
Or shall coy glances, passion-rich,
Compel my fond allegiance?
Which?

And yet the solving's really clear,
For winter's gone and summer's here.
I want no statue in a niche,
So Cupid says, "Let Maud be
'Which!'"
