April Is National Poetry Month
The poem first appeared in Poetry magazine in April 1940.
Love Again Blues
My life ain't nothin'
But a lot o' Gawd-knows-what.
I say my life ain't nothin'
But a lot o' Gawd-knows-what.
Just one thing after 'nother
Added to de trouble that I got.
When I got you I
Thought I had an angel-chile.
When I got you
Thought I had an angel-chile.
You turned out to be the devil
That mighty nigh drove me wild!
Tell me, tell me,
What makes love such an ache and pain?
Tell me what makes
Love such an ache and pain?
It takes you and it breaks you--
But you got to love again.
