The great American Songbook
whose words march off the page
Its music now a footnote
—to a century of rage
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
By Poet "Read Away and Let Your Imagination Soar."
Candle's warm bright glow,
helps me to read my songbook,
Enjoying word flow,
fairies dance across my book.
Giving me a funny look.
Melodies remain
Uncontained by time's goodbyes
Songbook of refrain
Immersed with dim, nimbus eyes
Chorus chords immortalized

The oldest version dates from Tom Thumbs' 1744 songbook. Modern versions keeping with times, caused 'Mistress' to go dark. 'Cockle' is a seashell.
Mistress Mary sang like canary,
When they surround her stronghold,
Swiped silver bells, hid pearly shells,
And pretties weigh all in gold.
