In my ear is the moan of the pines; In my heart is the song of the sea And I feel his wild breath on my face As he showers his kisses on me. And I hear the wild scream of the gulls As they answer the call of the tide; And I see the white sails, as they glisten Like gems on the breast of a bride. * * * * * Hail to the Devil Dog He’s a drinker and a driller, He’s a gambler and a sport; He’s a hard old hand at fighting, But at work he’s rather short, The devil likes his fighting, And the beauty way it’s done; He’s a cross between a Christian And the devil’s only son. His vice is like the most of men, His virtue like a few, But when you thump his metal, You’ll find it’s ring is true; He’s honored by the title, Of a soldier and a man, He’s Uncle Sammy’s nephew, And all American. * * * * * A Tip For Wifey When your husband telephones to say, “I won’t be home to-night Till after twelve, I’ve lots to do,” Just say, “Dear boy all right, I’m going out myself to-night And won’t be in till late.” Will he come home on time? You bet He’ll also come home straight. * * * * * Have a Drink, Boys? They were on a fast train through Arkansas (?). Every few minutes the lady across the aisle held a bottle to her lips. The traveling man was thirsty. “How do you do,” said he. “What have you in that bottle, home brew?” “No,” she said, “I have consumption.” * * * * * Always Face the Music Even if it is your landlady’s daughter playing “The Maiden’s Prayer” on a square piano. Some day you might be back on your board bill. * * * * * You need your money And I need mine, If we both get ours It will sure be fine, But if you get yours And hold mine, too, What in the divil Am I going to do? * * * * * In the Game of Love In her first blossom, woman loves her lover; In all the others, all she loves is love. Here’s lovers two to the maiden true, And four to the maid caressing, But the wayward girl with the lips that curl, Keeps twenty lovers guessing. * * * * * The dramatic triangle is caused by people not being on the square.
