by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892 - 1950)
Chorus
Language: English
Give away her gowns, Give away her shoes; She has no more use For her fragrant gowns; Take them all down; Blue, green, blue, Lilac, pink, blue, From their padded hangers; She will dance no more In her narrow shoes; Sweep her narrow shoes From the closet floor.
