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!
