NEXT YEAR

Permission of Everybody's Magazine, New York

Up and down the street I know,

⁠Now that there is Grief and War

All day long the people go

⁠As they went before;

But when now the lads go by—

⁠Careless look and careless glance—

My heart wonders—"Which shall be

⁠Still next year in France?"

When the girls go fluttering—

⁠Flushing cheek and tossing head—

My heart says "Next year shall bring

⁠Which a lover dead?"

Lord, let Peace be kind and fleet—

⁠Put an end to Grief and War;

Let them walk the little street

⁠Careless as before!

—Margaret Widdemer
