Dorothy Parker
Song Of One Of The Girls
Here in my heart I am Helen
I'm Aspasia and Hero, at least
I'm Judith, and Jael, and Madame de Stael
I'm Salome, moon of the East
Here in my soul I am Sappho
Lady Hamilton am I, as well
In me Recamier vies with Kitty O'Shea
With Dido, and Eve, and poor Nell
I'm of the glamorous ladies
At whose beckoning history shook
But you are a man, and see only my pan
So I stay at home with a book
