MISCELLANEOUS POEMS


SOMETIME

THERE is a ship named Sometime;
 Men dream of it, and wait;
One on the shore, impatient,
 One at the household gate,
Thinking: "If it come not in the morn,
 Then in the evening it may."
But one I knew, not thinking of ships,
 Worked till the close of the day,
Lifting his eyes at evening-time,
 There his ship at anchor lay.
