Poems by Robert William Service
The Lottery
... The marriage seems much what you make it ...
Farewell To Verse
... And thus I let the blood down flow ...
A Verseman's Apology
... The Classics! Well, most of them bore me, ...
Book Lover
... "Please make me," says some wistful tome, ...
Old Sweethearts
... Recalling naughty neck-tickles!It must be fifty years today ...
The sunshine seeks my little room
... With flame of flag and boom of bell: ...
The Smoking Frog
... then after Death turns our belly to the sky: ...
Portent
... "Courage, my comrades, war is near!""Courage, my comrades, war is near!" ...
The Wedding Ring
... Bring out the devil in a man!"And yet I know she loves me still, ...
The Volunteer
... Wot the 'ell?Ay, wot the 'ell's the use of all this talk ...
Laziness
... No doubt they are right: in the stress of the fight ...
Perfection
... Six days I stray,--on number seven ...
Spanish Women
... When we behold their bulgy knees!Their starry eyes and dusky hair, ...
Toilet Seats
... The which, they say, are works of art, ...
The Pencil Seller
... it isn't gay. Tales of the Poor are never very bright ...
