Domestic Bonds
Great-grandmamá was very fond
Of songs by Carrie Jacobs-Bond.
No doubt she wept (perhaps unduly)
When singing through “I Love You Truly.”
While her fingers pressed the keys
Her sisters watched from plush settees.
Great-grandpapá, then still her beau,
Stood shyly in the candle glow.
A simple, innocent, serene
Victorian domestic scene.
And Carrie Jacobs-Bond grew rich
From filling this domestic niche.
