A Hammerstein Rhyme
Mark Steyn writes:
For a driving rhythm number in the show Sunny (1925), Hammerstein wrote:
Who stole my heart away?
Who makes me dream all day?
Dreams I know can never be true
Seems as though I’ll ever be blue.
Can’t see why I’m so impressed by the rhymes? Here—let me hit the italics key:
Dreams I know can never be true
Seems as though I’ll ever be blue.
That’s quite a rhyme scheme.
The entire Steyn article in The New Criterion on Hammerstein is good.
