Fix this textTHE ALL-POWERFUL.
Fix this textPoets from time of yore have sung,
Fix this textWith every rhyme in every tongue
Fix this textOf beauty and the power of love ;
Fix this textOf earthly things, and things above.
Fix this textSonnets to ladies dedicated
Fix this text(Often, I fear, much overrated';
Fix this textThey raved on this, they raved on that
Fix this textFrom dukes to the domestic cat.
Fix this textOn blessed peace and glorious war:
Fix this textOn feats of daring steeped with gore;
Fix this textAnd every kind of wondrous deeds
Fix this textWhich history or tradition breeds.
Fix this textBut I would humbly sing to praise
Fix this textSomething unhonored in these days ;
Fix this textThe cure for broken legs and arms,
Fix this textFor sufferers from rheumatic qualms,
Fix this textFrom wounds by bullet or the knife
Fix this textObtained in peace or dcadlv strife ;
Fix this textFor broken heads or chilhlained toes
Fix this textAnd twenty thousand other woes;
Fix this textFor that incurable disease
Fix this textA sup?rabundance of V.C.?s ;
Fix this textFor nervous breakdown, shrapnel it is,
Fix this textToothache, acute malingeritis;
Fix this textFor broken hearts, for busted clo?es ;
Fix this textFor every sickness science knows ;
Fix this textAll these and every other ill
Fix this textAre cured by that all-searching PILL,
Fix this textChoice gift to earth by powers divine—
Fix this textI sing in praise of NUMBER NINE !
Fix this textX.Y.Z.
Fix this textKILLED IN ACTION.
Fix this textSomebody weeps—some withered soul is aching,
Fix this textSome lonely breast is filled with bitter care,
Fix this textFor lo ! 'tis spring, the rosebuds are awaking,
Fix this textAnd singing birds are calling you, "Mon Cher."
Fix this textSomebody cares and someone's thoughts go dream-
Fix this texting
Fix this textMidst dear dead days and fields where wild
Fix this textflowers grew,
Fix this textSomebody cares, and eyes that once were beaming,
Fix this textAee dim for you, " Mon Cher," are dim for you.
Fix this textSomebody cares—white lips each hour are pray-
Fix this texting
Fix this textWet eyes look out across the misty blue,
Fix this textAye, someone cares and someone's soul is straying,
Fix this textSeeking for you, " Mon Cher, " seeking for you.
Fix this textReginald Godfrey.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
