(And the bones of the valiant dead)?
Who burned this city of Kalamazoo—
Love-town, Troy-town Kalamazoo?
A harum-scarum innocent heart.
JOHN L. SULLIVAN, THE STRONG BOY OF BOSTON
Inscribed to Louis Untermeyer and Robert Frost
When I was nine years old, in 1889
I sent my love a lacy Valentine.
Suffering boys were dressed like Fauntleroys,
While Judge and Puck in giant humor vied.
