Excerpt from The Gilding Star: And Other Poems

And some of us dream of temples, While the roof sags overhead, And some of the gold that a witch foretold, While we fight for bread.

Dreams - wain dreams! Of the things that we yet may be: Yet the worst and best have gone to rest. And so shall we.

Ideals

Children, O my children!
When the ship comes home.
I will deck you to my pleasure
With my riches and my leisure.
And then and forever
We will roam.

Children, O my children!
When the ship comes home.
And no longer we are sighing
O'er this weary ever-trying
'Gainst the sea and the breaker
Stinging foam.

Then, children, O my children!
Though the tide sets strong.
Though our eyes are growing heavy
And the time seems long.
We'll forget our yester-sorrow
In our planning for the morrow.
And cheer us in our waiting
With a song!
