Hortense Robbins

 My name used to be in the papers daily
As having dined somewhere,
Or traveled somewhere,
Or rented a house in Paris,
Where I entertained the nobility.

I was forever eating or traveling,
Or taking the cure at Baden-Baden.

Now I am here to do honor
To Spoon River, here beside the family whence I sprang.

No one cares now where I dined,
Or lived, or whom I entertained,
Or how often I took the cure at Baden-Baden!
