Au Revoir There never was bestowed on me A special gift for poetry, About my head no muses play, No folks go wild o’er wlmt I say. I know I’ll ne’er be laureate, My verse shall ne’er a fortune get, But yet I turn to humble rhyme And build my poem, line by line. To you old school 1 turn my pen, 1 ne’er shall have the chance again, To put your praises into print, Colors of gold and purple tint! But you were good to me, old school, Lots better than this poetry, I wish I were a bard divine, To put your praises in proper rhyme. But other folks must play the bard And make for thee a mighty choir, My house now falls, all built of cards, All I can say is au revoir. E. M. H. 21
