That shone in her hazel eye;
But I can't forget that whispered "yes" That came the palms amid, I can't forget that one caress-- I shouldn't have--but I did! GUY WETMORE CARRYL _Columbia Spectator._ ~The American Girl.~ The German may sing of his rosy-cheeked lass, The French of his brilliant-eyed pearl; But ever the theme of my praises shall be The laughing American girl, Yes, the jolly American girl. She laughs at her sorrows, she laughs at her joys, She laughs at Dame Fortune's mad whirl; And laughing will meet all her troubles in life, The laughing American girl, Yes, the joyous American girl. You say she can't love if she laughs all the time? A laugh at your logic she'll hurl; She loves while she laughs and she laughs while she loves, The laughing American girl, Oh, the laughing American girl! |
