Time & Brevity
“Any little Old Song”
From Human Shows, Far Phantasies, Songs and Trifles (1925)
Time & Brevity
Any little old song
Will do for me,
Tell it of joys gone long,
Or joys to be,
Or friendly faces best
Loved to see.
Newest themes I want not
On subtle strings,
And for thrillings pant not
That new song brings:
I only need the homeliest
Of heartstirrings.
