St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings, Drags that man round, by her a-pron stri-ings. Now if it wasn’t for that woman. And her store-bought hair. The one I love .. Wouldn’t be gone ... so ... far ... from ... here ..
I’ve got the St. Louis blues. Just as blue as a gal can be, Now that man’s got a heart. Like a rock cast down in-to the sea. Or else he wouldn’t have gone so far from me ..
Feeling to-morrow ... li-ike Ah feel to-day. Ah’ll pack my trunk, an’ make mah get-a-way. Feeling to-morrow ... li-ike Ah feel to-day

CHAPTER VI
‘ “Gently she tombs the poor dim last time. Strews pinkish dust above. And sighs, ‘The dear dead girlish pastime! But this ... ah, God! ... is ...” ’

CHAPTER VIII
‘ “I’ll keep a little tavern. Below the grey-eyed crest. Wherein all high hill’s people. May sit them down and rest
There shall be plates a-plenty. And mugs to melt the chill. Of all the grey-eyed people. Who happen up the hill
There sound will sleep the traveller. And dream his journey’s end, But I will rouse at midnight. The falling fire to tend
Aye, ‘tis a curious fancy— But all the good I know. Was taught me out of two grey eyes. A long time ago.” ’

‘ “You do look, my son, in a moved sort, As if you were dismayed; be cheerful, sir. Our revels now are ended; these our actors. As I foretold you, were all spirits, and. Are melted into air, into thin air; And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff. As dreams are made on, and our little life. Is rounded with a sleep.” ’
