Driver Smith

...ss my heart, but it's Kruger's self," and he jumped for him straight away. 

He collared old Kruger round the waist and hustled him into the van. 
It wasn't according to stretcher drill for raising a wounded man; 
But he forced him in and said, "All aboard, we're off for a little ride, 
And you'll have the car to yourself," says he, "I reckon we're full inside." 

He wheeled his team on the mountain side and set 'em a merry pace, 
A-galloping over the rocks and stones, and a ...Read more of this...

Goblin Market

...led her proud,
Cross-grained, uncivil;
Their tones waxed loud,
Their looks were evil.
Lashing their tails
They trod and hustled her,
Elbowed and jostled her,
Clawed with their nails,
Barking, mewing, hissing, mocking,
Tore her gown and soiled her stocking,
Twitched her hair out by the roots,
Stamped upon her tender feet,
Held her hands and squeezed their fruits
Against her mouth to make her eat.

White and golden Lizzie stood,
Like a lily in a flood,
Like a rock of blue-veine...Read more of this...

Judgment Day

...friend, and tend awhile this gate--
Just take my place for half an hour -- I've got to urinate."
With that Saint Peter hustled off. The gate-keeper pro tem
Observed the Tuscarorans and he waved his hand at them.
"Come in! come in!" he shouted, for he was an angler, too,
And he knew that anglers, as a whole, were earth's most harmless crew.
So all the Tuscarorans got to heaven, thanks to Wood,
And the Secretary's last report says, "Fishing there is good."...Read more of this...

Sisters cake

...at the rest of 'em might chance to have in hand,
The whole machinery of the house came to a sudden stand;
The pots were hustled off the stove, the fire built up anew,
With every damper set just so to heat the oven through;
The kitchen-table was relieved of everything, to make
That ample space which Jane required when she compounded cake.

And, oh! the bustling here and there, the flying to and fro;
The click of forks that whipped the eggs to lather white as snow--
And what a ...Read more of this...

The Cremona Violin

...caught his single tone.
For all she noticed they two were alone.

Part Fourth
Frau Altgelt waited in the chilly street,
Hustled by lackeys who ran up and down
Shouting their coachmen's names; forced to retreat
A pace or two by lurching chairmen; thrown
Rudely aside by linkboys; boldly shown
The ogling rapture in two bleary eyes
Thrust close to hers in most unpleasant wise.
Escaping these, she hit a liveried arm,
Was sworn at by this glittering gentleman
And ordered off. Howev...Read more of this...

The drum

...soldiers come
With a r-r-rat-tat-tat
And a tum-titty-um-tum-tum!

Course it's all in play!
The skulking Injun crew
That hustled the kite away
Are little white boys, like you!
But "honest" or "just in fun,"
It is all the same to me;
And, when the battle is won,
Home once again march we
With a r-r-rat-tat-tat
And tum-titty-um-tum-tum;
And there's glory enough in that
For the boys with their little red drum!...Read more of this...

The Parsons Son

...ut we all were mad, both the good and the bad, and as for the women, well --
No spot on the map in so short a space has hustled more souls to hell.

"Money was just like dirt there, easy to get and to spend.
I was all caked in on a dance-hall jade, but she shook me in the end.
It put me *****, and for near a year I never drew sober breath,
Till I found myself in the bughouse ward with a claim staked out on death.

"Twenty years in the Yukon, struggling along its creeks;

The Sniper

...o doubt had kids an' wives
 An' happy home like me:
 Them stiffs I still can see.

Aye, ninety men or more my hand
 Has hustled down to hell;
They've loaded me with medals and
 They tell me I done well:
 A hero for a spell.

But Heaven help me to forget
 Them fellow men I've slain,
The bubbling flow of blood I've let . . .
 I'll never kill again:
 To swat flies gives me pain.

Just let me dream when we will see
 And end of soldierin';
When flags of famous victory
 Will be amo...Read more of this...
