RUDEL TO THE LADY OF TRIPOLI
For the S. L. by Chas. J. Heitzman.

And weep because the star he sought
His young arms to the sky.
Was just a bit too high.
And weep because the star he sought
His young arms to the sky.
Was just a bit too high.
I wondered at it, smiled, and thought,
“What grasping fools we are!”
But then, you see, I did not know
I too should one day want a star.
“What grasping fools we are!”
But then, you see, I did not know
