Eugene Field - JennieEugene Field - Jennie
Work rating: Low


Some men affect a liking   For the prim in face and mind, And some prefer the striking   And the loud in womankind; Wee Madge is wooed of many,   And buxom Kate, as well, And Jennie--charming Jennie--   Ah, Jennie doesn`t tell! What eyes so bright as Daisy`s,   And who as Maud so fair? Who does not sing the praises   Of Lucy`s golden hair? There`s Sophie--she is witty,   A very sprite is Nell, And Susie`s, oh, so pretty-- But Jennie doesn`t tell! And now for my confession:   Of all the virtues rare, I argue that discretion   Doth most beseem the fair. And though I hear the many   Extol each other belle, I--I pronounce for Jennie,   For Jennie doesn`t tell!
