I LOVE MY LOVE, by JAMES P. SAWYER First Line: Every one thinks some face fairer Last Line: On a bright one dollar bill. Subject(s): Money | ||||||||
EVERY one thinks some face fairer Than all others in the land, Thinks this one alone is perfect, Vows to her his heart and hand. Then he sings in loudest praises Of her wealth of golden hair, Of her lips like ripest cherries, She alone divinely fair. But there's one that's quite forgotten, One whose charms they fail to see; Yet in my abject devotion Fairest of the fair is she. There's not one half so entrancing Or so makes my poor heart thrill -- It is Martha Washington's picture On a bright one dollar bill. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TRAVELLER by RANDALL JARRELL ART VS.
