These Days
It is strange in these days how no one seems to care.

You walk alone, because the one you trusted is the one with the spear.
It is strange in these days how no one seems to care.

And see the way you lived, but I don't know!

The buzz-saw snarled and rattled in the yard
And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.
And from there those that lifted eyes could count

Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase;
Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn.

The Trail Of Ninety-eight

Fearless, unfound, unfitted, far from the night and the cold,
Heard we the clarion summons, followed the master-lure-Gold!

Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
