VAGRANT VERSE
ROMANCE. Ships are sailing, sailing the seas, Airplanes winging the air, Black trains rushing here and there, And motorcars to distances, Everywhere romance is! There are two newsboys eating ice, At the back cf the iceman's wagon—* Essence of North Pole adventure in passing, And when all is said, our aun is nice! Shall one go, jr shall one stay? Deciding necessitates thinking twice, When right here romance is! I can go home, if I please,— Sit or stand or lie on my back Under the eucalyptus trees, Look straight up, See the blackbirds spreading themselves, Black against \he blue of the sky, Hear the wild doves cooing there, — Everywhere romance is! r—Myrtle Sutherland.
