Hark, the very birds are singing, "Josephine!" And within my heart is ringing "Josephine!" Till my senses, all a-chime, Keep repeating, time and time, "Have you seen Josephine, Sweet, sweet, pretty, sweet Josephine?" O, she wears a crown of gold, Josephine, Though she isn't very old, Josephine; But she 's growing, day by day, And we know that, anyway, She 's a Queen Josephine— Sweet, sweet, pretty, sweet Josephine. In your kingdom there are many, Josephine, And I am as poor as any, Josephine; But the bounty of your smile Would increase my wealth a pile— Won't you smile on me a while, Josephine— Sweet, sweet, petite Josephine? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOUNG BLOOD by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET PARAGRAPHS: 15 by HAYDEN CARRUTH SONG:SO WHY DOES THIS DEAD CARNATION by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN EQUAL SACRIFICE by ROBERT FROST CHAMBER MUSIC: 8 by JAMES JOYCE DOMESDAY BOOK: ARCHIBALD LOWELL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
