Lady of the Evening<\/h1>\n

by Jack Peachum<\/p>\n

She\u2019s in her beauty tonight\u2013 and how lovely\u2013
\nluminous, riding high, dressed in her best yellow gown,
\nplaying the part of doting girlfriend\u2013
\npeeking down shyly from behind a veil of cloud!
\nBut, oh, the bitch\u2013 she\u2019s betrayed us again
\n\u2013 last night she was with the sun!
\nWhen we weren\u2019t looking she crept into his room\u2013
\nthis morning just after dawn\u2013 I caught her leaving his side!
