Franklin P. Adams - Lines Written on the Sunny Side of Frankfort Street

2014-11-07 1 Dailymotion

Sporting with Amaryllis in the shade, <br />(I credit Milton in parenthesis), <br />Among the speculations that she made <br />Was this: <br /> <br />"When"--these her very words--"when you return, <br />A slave to duty's harsh commanding call, <br />Will you, I wonder, ever sigh and yearn <br />At all?" <br /> <br />Doubt, honest doubt, sat then upon my brow. <br />(Emotion is a thing I do not plan). <br />I could not fairly answer then, but now <br />I can. <br /> <br />Yes, Amaryllis, I can tell you this, <br />Can answer publicly and unafraid: <br />You haven't any notion how I miss <br />The shade.<br /><br />Franklin P.
