Or else a yellow cow comes down To splash a while and have a drink,But when she goes I still can hear The water say, "And do you think?"
Elizabeth Madox RobertsPoetry, A Magazine of Verse


MY HEART
My heart is beating up and down, Is walking like some heavy feet.My heart is going every day, And I can hear it jump and beat.
At night before I go to sleep I feel it beating in my head;I hear it jumping in my neck And in the pillow on my bed.
And then I make some little words To go along and say with it—  The men are sailing home from Troy,   And all the lamps are lit.
  The men are sailing home from Troy,   And all the lamps are lit.
Elizabeth Madox RobertsPoetry, A Magazine of Verse
