The Re-echo Club: as by James Whitcomb Riley (Cubist Nude)

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From The Re-echo Club

Living

There, Little Nude, don't cry!
You've descended the stairs, I know;
And the weird wild ways
Of the Cubist Jays
Have made you a holy show!
But Post Impressions will soon pass by.
There Little Nude, don't cry, don't cry!
