Lydia Puckett -- Spoon River Anthology

<<< Knowlt Hoheimer

Frank Drummer >>>

This poem was included in the original 1915 edition.

KNOWLT HOHEIMER ran away to the war
The day before Curl Trenary
Swore out a warrant through Justice Arnett
For stealing hogs.
But that's not the reason he turned a soldier.
He caught me running with Lucius Atherton.
We quarreled and I told him never again
To cross my path.
Then he stole the hogs and went to the war--
Back of every soldier is a woman.
