Non Sum Qualis Eram
or: Dowson, Thou Should’st Be Living At This Hour! I Peed night, ah, yesternight, betore the News at nine, There fell thy Sinatra! thy voice was shed Upon the wireless-waves; thou sang’ st "This Love of Mine," And I was desolate and sick of an old passion Though over Crosby once I lost my ead, I have been faithful to thee, Sinatra; in my fashion, I HAVE forgot much, Sinatra! Gone With The Wind I’ve read three times, but can’t forget thy. song; Symphonies won’t put thy crooning out mindThey leave me desolate and sick of an old passion; Yea, all the time, because the Ninth is long, I have been faithful to thee, Sinatral in my fashion. I CRIED for hotter music, laced with gin and wine, But when the programmes finish, and the bands expire, Then falls thy shadow, Sinatra! the air is thine, And I Heed desolate and sick of an old passi Bereft, we ‘seatale the dial for my desire; I have been faithful to thee, in my fashion.
