Title:     Chorus For Mixed Voices
Author: Franklin P. Adams [More Titles by Adams]

(Being a stenographic report of how it
sounds from the piazza when a dozen boat
loads go out on the lake of a summer evening.)

How can I bear to good old Yale the shades of Upidee
That's where my heart is weep no more in sunny Tennessee
How dear to heart grows weary far from meadow grass is blue
Above Cayuga's waters we will sing I'm strong for you.

A Spanish cava fare thee well and everything so fine
That's where you get your old black Joe my darling Clementine
The old folks would enjoy it on the road to Mandalay
'Twas from Aunt Dinah's polly-wolly-woodle all the day.

I hear those good night ladies much obliged because we're here
Afraid to go home in the with a good song ringing clear
Just tell them that fair Harvard old Nassau is shining bright
How can I bear to grand old rag we roll along good night!

[The end]
Franklin P. Adams's poem: Chorus For Mixed Voices
