General Review Of The *** Situation

Solace
There was a rose that faded young;I saw its shattered beauty hung
Indian Summer
In youth, it was a way I hadTo do my best to please,
Penelope
In the pathway of the sun,In the footsteps of the breeze,
The Flaw In Paganism
Drink and dance and laugh and lie,Love, the reeling midnight through,
Afternoon
When I am old, and comforted,And done with this desire,
The Lady's Reward
Lady, lady, never startConversation toward your heart;
Anecdote
So silent I when Love was byHe yawned, and turned away;
