Les Mouches Fantastiques (amateur journal)/June 1918/Two Songs
Too Songs.
I.
What does it avail me
What the world is fair
Bathing in the sunset's
Lemoned yallow hair;
What does it avail me
That my soul is free
If the fall of twilight
Bring you not to me?
II.
I shall paint all day long,
I shall paint the slender white birches
And the sun gilded grass
And the skies that are bluer than ether skies.
I shall paint all day long.
I shall paint your flame colored tresses
And your sun-coppered skin
And your eyes that are bluer than other eyes.
Dora Gidlow.
