by Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869 - 1935)
James Wetherell
Language: English
We never half believed the stuff They told about James Wetherell; We always liked him well enough, And always tried to use him well; But now some things have come to light, And James has vanished from our view, -- There is n't very much to write, There is n't very much to do.
