Love Poem by Lawrence Harwood (1923)

we gave ourselves

we gave the farm we


gave grandaddy's gold from the war


we sold his saber and revolver too


Mama's good silver and china


tore our souls to pieces


ran the wagon into the ground


all the horses too



(and I'd give all this and more


if I had to give it away again


just for a minute or two


or more with you)
