Love
The Twa Cheerless
From The Singing Leaves (1903)
Love
Eh, is there nothing doing?
Then give your soul good heed;
And show yourself the miracles
That you would like to read,
As long as you’re in need.
And then suppose I sing myself
—And if you will, give ear,—
The very song I never heard,
But I would like to hear:
And this, man, will be cheer!
