Tell me, is it truly true?

H M Bascom

Tell me, is it truly true?

Dead Poets Series

Something goes and something stops.
Something hides its face and cries;
Something shivers; something dies.
I love blue ribbons brought from fairs;
You love sitting splitting hairs.
I love truth, and so do you . . .
Tell me, is it truly true?

From Quarrel by Elinor Wylie, 1885 – 1928

Copyright in the USA on written works is life of the author plus 70 years. Ms. Wylie died in 1928, Copyright expired in 1998 – FYI
