Than Phyllis or Peggy or Mae;

Each day that I’m gone she seems nearer—

And she’s feeble, but smiling and gay.

THE LITTLE DREAMS

Now, France is a pleasant land to know

If you’re back in a billet town,

And a hell of a hole for the human mole

Where the trenches burrow down;

But where doughboys be in their worn O.D.,
