Caricamento in corso...

A Song of the Future.

Sail fast, sail fast,
   Ark of my hopes, Ark of my dreams;
   Sweep lordly o’er the drowned Past,
   Fly glittering through the sun’s strange beams;
       Sail fast, sail fast.
Breaths of new buds from off some drying lea
With news about the Future scent the sea:
My brain is beating like the heart of Haste:
I’ll loose me a bird upon this Present waste;
       Go, trembling song,
   And stay not long; oh, stay not long:
   Thou’rt only a gray and sober dove,
   But thine eye is faith and thy wing is love.
