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.
