Excerpt from Pocket Tokens: And Other Poems

Jaded like steeds With trade's urging Whip, Forgot they their patrons and wares they must And kindled their minds into warm fellowship.

What is your chief comfort, or joy, or delight, Asked a salesman alert cheered by Winter's fire glow Hands put to pockets brought four objects to light; Like sluice-gates four lips let the mind-waters flow.

Drummers are thought heartless, heedless, and cold, As they make needed wage by the trail of the road, Not caring for else than the tradesman's gold.
