 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.
