Excerpt from Poems

Alone I sat in the moonlight, Gently it beamed on my head The hour drew near unto midnight, All thought of the present had fled.

Away to the past I was carried, On the cord of memory's strings In meadows, by brooklets, I tarried; Time passed then on bright golden wings.

But now I seemed to be dreaming One long, long dream of my life; My Childhood's home I left weeping, I must face the cold world and its strife.

The world with its sin, and its sorrow, A battle indeed, at the best, The teachings of childhood to follow, That path, alone, would be blest.

Clouds would soon hide the bright sunlight, And Shadows would fall on my soul Black as the darkness of midnight And waves into billows would roll.
