C J Dennis - Black SaturdayC J Dennis - Black Saturday
Work rating: Low


They say a touch of spring is in the air;   They say the wattle trees with bloom are gay; They say each garden now begins to wear --               (Not that I care) --   A festal garb that waxes day by day In loneliness.  They tell, too, of blue skies   Aglow with hope . . . I laugh them all to scorn, And gaze upon these things with listless eyes   That see nought but a vista most forlorn. They say that bird songs come now with a rush   Of rarest melody; the ambient air Thrills to the voice of blackbird and of thrush               (I answer "Tush!   Let `em go sing their heads off.  I don`t care.") They say a kindly sun beams o`er the earth.   They say -- Bah!  Who pays heed to what they say? Life is a sham; a mockery is mirth;   I`m making out my income tax today.
