Explore "The Moods of Ginger Mick" by C.J. Dennis on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A month ago the world grew grey fer me; / A month ago the light went out fer Rose. / To 'er they broke it gentle as might be; / But fer 'is pal 'twus one uv them swift blows / That stops the 'eart-beat; fer to me it came / Jist, "Killed in Action," an' beneath 'is name.
'Ow many times 'ave I sat dreamin' 'ere / An' seen the boys returnin', gay an' proud. / I've seen the greetin's, 'eard 'is rousin' cheer, / An' watched ole Mick come stridin' thro' the crowd. / 'Ow many times 'ave I sat in this chair / An' seen 'is 'ard chiv grinnin' over there.
