Edgar Lee Masters (Эдгар Ли Мастерс)


John M. Church


I was attorney for the ”Q”
And the Indemnity Company which insured
The owners of the mine.
I pulled the wires with judge and jury,
And the upper courts, to beat the claims
Of the crippled, the widow and orphan,
And made a fortune thereat.
The bar association sang my praises
In a high-flown resolution.
And the floral tributes were many --
But the rats devoured my heart
And a snake made a nest in my skull.



Edgar Lee Masters's other poems:
  1. O Glorious France
  2. Serepta Mason
  3. Hod Putt
  4. Judson Stoddard
  5. Jeremy Carlisle
