No Need for a Band

From "Choir Practice," A Chorus of Contemporary Poetry, conducted by Ellen M. Carroll" in the Charleston Evening Post, November 13, 1936:

NO NEED FOR A BAND

In my little rut
   I serenely go,
Without swagger or strut
   Or fanfare or show.

No need to doubt
   The way I take . . .
I couldn't get out
   With less than a quake!

The path is fair
   I can't go wrong:
Without worry or care,
   I travel with song.

— Clare Harner.   Kansas.
