She’s in love, at least. Ma Cherie
In real life
Sews costumes for her marionettes
Helps her to keep behind the scene
Whose side lit goose-girl
Speaking with his voice
Plays Guinevere as well as Gun-moll Molly
Or else at bedtime
In their tight embrace
Tell her French hopes
And her German fears
Her—but what more is there to tell?
