Show 4 ft SURE THEY DO aT By BERTON BRALEY I 4 1 Cynical bachelors may proclaim They are safe from the tender passion, Quite untouched by the subtle flame That glows and glows in a wondrous fashion; Bui by'and by there wilt come along Some girl to capture them, one and all, For be their armor however strong Sooner or later they always fall! nd some are taken when blnhe and young And some are taken in middle age. Bound and fettered and swiftly flung Into the matrimonial cage; Just when they bonst of their freedom loudest They lind they're caught in the ancient thrall. The toughest bachelors and the proudest Sooner or later they always fall' And If for the length of a life they're "free,'' Free to wander the world alone. It Isn't because they have wished to be, For d-ip in their hearts, if you could be shown, is ihe cherished shrine of an old romance, A memory sweet that they still recall, oh. love's the master men have no chain i Sooner or later they always fall' Copyright, 1922.
