MAIN STREET AND OTHER POEMS

A BLUE VALENTINE (continued) When you come to pay your devoir to Our Lady,

I beg you, say to her:

"Madame, a poor poet, one of your singing servants yet on earth,

Has asked me to say that at this moment he is especially grateful to you

For wearing a blue gown." [ 25 ]
