co,,rted her in calico

No sWeeter were the apple blooms
along the orchard lane.
For life and love suffice for her-and
she was Mary Jane.
What spirit haunts the path of life
To warp a woman's ways?
What is it wells the happiness
And truth of other days?
The years that in their flight have
left frosting over me,
That robbed my life of Mary Jane
gave in exchange Marie!
What empty social yanitles
Can ever rise above
The wondrous purity and peace
OF happiness and love
The wears are not SO many, yet
long eternity
Lies in between sweet Mary Jane and
my club wife-"Marie."
Besides the ashes of my love
/ mourn tonight. the while
ITO please the world she's practicing
Her artificial smile!
oh. God. a single day when life was
mot a tangled skein-
When life was simple truthfulness
and she was Mary Jane!
