THY voice hath naught of the Lorelei lure To hold men in its thrall; Of pitch and key thou art oft not sure At all. Thy form and features, thy teeth and hair To others may seem a feast. I know of a thousand maids as fair, At least. Of piquant ways and I-don't-know-what, Of merriment, art, and wit, It seemeth to me that thou hast not A bit. I never was one to raise my brow, I never was one to scoff; But I simply can't see, my dear, where thou Get'st off. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FLAT-HUNTER'S WAY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS TO THE RETURNED GIRLS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS TO A THESAURUS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A BALLADE OF LAWN TENNIS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A CONSISTENT GIRL by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A PENNY'S WORTH OF POESY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A RHYMED REVIEW; 'LAUGHING MUSE' (BY ARTHUR GUITERMAN) by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A SUMMER SUMMARY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS AIR: 'CAPTAIN JINKS' by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS ALAS! by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS |
