THE DEBTOR by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: OH, THIS SAME LIFE SO FRESH AND GAY
Last Line: AND YOU ARE WITH HIM, DAY BY DAY.
Subject(s): DEBT; LOVE - COMPLAINTS;

OH, this same life so fresh and gay
Has differing moods at his command,
A debtor he, with tears to pay,—
And to your tears he knows the way;
And you are with him, hand-in-hand,
And you are with him, day by day.
