By William Reed Dunroy in the Post.J When thou art near my heart beata furiously fast, Against my scrawny ribs, My breath comes slowly in abbreviat ed pants, In insufficient dribs, When thou art near. When thou art near far bluer-seems the azure skies And I am also blue, But stranger still the earth seems greener far, And I feel greener too. - When thou art near. When thou art near I lose what little head I have Tho thou appearest cool. I feel and know that I appear to thee and all. A snappy, doddering fool. When thou art near. When thou art near, Oh gosh I can't go on, I can't! I've got to stop right here, I can't begin to tell how awful bad I feel. I feel all out of gear, When thou art near. tsgit--a .. - riMAL - ..Wl.- . . i V i
