Enough Rope: Poems by Dorothy Parker (New York: Boni and Liveright, 1926): 22. PS 3531 A5855E5 Robarts Library
1Love has gone a-rocketing.
2 That is not the worst;
3I could do without the thing,
4 And not be the first.
5Joy has gone the way it came.
6 That is nothing new;
7I could get along the same, --
8 Many people do.
9Dig for me the narrow bed,
10 Now I am bereft.
11All my pretty hates are dead,
12 And what have I left?
