BROADWAY SONNET

And SO we win be fools a little
 space,
 Not hide our eyes when skies go
 overcast
 Nor yet bomoan our neager time
 of grace .. ...
 We Will find Inns along the
 shadowed street,
 Knowing full well that every Inn
 must close,
 We win find roses, Scarlet-hued and
 sweet
 Knowing how brief the life on any
 rose;
 But in some moment when the fire
 leaps high
 Imay set down some magic words
 for you,
 We may find songs too beautiful
 to die ...
 We may find banners waving in
 the blue ....
 osay 6 fool can hope for love to only . greater fool lets love 90 pastl
 DON VAIN.
