SPRING SONG, INTERPOLATED.
What is so rare as day in June?'
Lowell old kid, is that question
spurious?
Is It propounded to fit your tuner
Or, honest to grandma, now, are
you curious?
Look at us, James! Oh, observe us,
Russell!
Witness our plight, for We can not
mask it.;
Mark every struggle and watch each
tussle:
And blush bright pink that you
dared to ask 1t!
what is 30 rare as day in June7'
The union member who earns his
pay;
Honest prices for egg or prune:
For butter or gasolene; milk or
hay.
Landlords refusing to raise the rent;
Political persons who keep their
word:
Things that are sold for a single
cent:
There arc . few Of the boundless
herd.
Nov 10 the high tide Of the year,
So you say in your voice euphoni-
With prices dearer and yet more
dear
The tide 10 high Just to be har-
monious.
Nov the heart 10 30 full that q drop
o'erfills it."
A lovely line when you set II
downl
It st1rs our soul not at all, nor thrills
It,
For 20 - every darn house in town.
Tho little bird sits at his door In
the SUM-"
And somehow you can't help 1ust
wondering II
He's grateful enough at having one
To sit in front OF, the lucky stiff!
Lots of persons searching for the
truth wouldn't know what to do with
1t II they found 1t.
