Her Man Burns Happ ily

What a right young free man. Would sail weeks to share a pretty hand. Would row—no easy cruise. Would sail rough ly on a trace sea to share a house, on a street, Broadway.

Oh, soon.

A pretty cook and her son tore his heart. Drew a bad hand: gray flowers, brown lake, hair is on fire, smoke. Grim ray s so mark him. Goings got rough.

So, Man: Ship west! Go forth on a dull cruise! Walled in? Roam, oh mad son! What a hunter would bet is easily worth green fields.

Rue a choice? Why, no. A price worth venture. A godly vote frees. ‘ts why heart’s war is to knock a shield, s o bear it, bear on.’Til man so guard, Boy, you’re born.

Brothers, row! Carpenter, row! You’re in a war, ‘n victory no more may bury! Butler, Baker, Coal Man, Shoemaker, Weaver, Farmer: Row! Row! Almost sands. ‘Morrow, We Land.

See me in Paris.
