Jessie Pope - Crumbs of Comfort Jessie Pope - Crumbs of Comfort

Low
When Gladys comes a whisper wakes,
A sudden thrill prevails,
She holds the eyes of men, and takes
The wind out of our sails.
In spite of every art we use,
Their bosoms she transfixes,
And yet I`m glad to know her shoes
Are unromantic sixes.
The frocks that Leonora wears
Are absolutely sweet,
She practices such Frenchy airs
It`s hopeless to compete.
Her lace is fine, her silks are thick,
Her sables make one sicken ;
And yet, though Leonora`s chic,
She`s certainly no chicken.
Diana has a sporting bent
And not a little side,
She`s hot upon a screamin` scent
And knows the way to ride.
Her doggy tendencies would please
A print like Mr. Strachey`s,
But, though she drops her final G`s,
Her father drops his H`s.
