wonder if you have forgotten, since
winning your fame and your gold, the
days of our dreaming together. how
drifted from Maine to Texas in days
of the one night stands-from streets
from the great white city, to the palms
of a dear southland. Over the desert
and mountains, to songs of the hum

children, we followed the wanderers

whispering, as of old to the long gray
shore, while echoes of song half for

way-they say there is no returning
to the gardens of yesterday. We both
are far wiser and sadder, and richer
in coin of the realm, yet somehow I'd
like to go drifting. if love were again
at the helm.-N. S. A.
