In American-Poems (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from In American-Poems

I wished I'd took the ring, not the Victrola. You get so tired of records, hearin' an' hearin' 'em, And when a person don't have much to spend They feel they shouldn't ought to be so wasteful. And then these warm nights makes it slow inside, And sittin's lovely down there by the lake Where him and me would always use ta go.

Excerpt from In American-Poems

"Nothin' or everythin', it's got to be," Nocturne
You says, and hides your face down on my arm.
"If it meant nothin', 'twouldn't do no harm,
Or either everythin' - but this way - see?..."

I feel your tremblin' heart against my coat,
And the big arc-light moon grins down so cool,
"Go on!" I think it says, "you softie fool!"...
I love you so it hurts me in my throat...

"Don't make me kiss you; sure, I know you could,"
You're pleadin', "And we gone too far for play;
I care a lot... but yet not so's to say
I love you yet.... Aw, help me to be good!....

Oh, darlin', darlin', can't you let in be
Nothin' to you, and everythin' to me?
