Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Drums, and Other Poems
Y love knows naught of trick or guile; Her face shows all emotion, It's either tears or cheerful smile Whene'er she takes a notion. She laughs in glee at silly deeds And sobs when she is scolded. Or loudly cries for what she needs Except when sleep-enfolded. She wakes, alas! At day's first peep, And chirps, and calls and chatters, And any chance of others' sleep Why, these are foolish matters!
