WHEN THOU ART NEAR.
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.
