An hour ago, a Star was falling.
A star? There's nothing strange in that.
No, nothing; but above the thicket,
Somehow it seemed to me that God
Somewhere had just relieved a picket.And ever since then, when the clock strikes two,
She walks unbidden from room to room,
And the air is filled that she passes through
With a subtle, sad perfume.
The delicate odor of mignonette,
The ghost of a dead and gone bouquet,
Is all that tells of her story--yet
Could she think of a sweeter way?And I hear from the outgoing ship in the bay
The song of the sailors in glee:
So I think of the luminous footprints that bore
The comfort o'er dark Galilee,
And wait for the signal to go to the shore,
To the ship that is waiting for me.Hark! I hear the tramp of thousands,
And of armed men the hum;
Lo, a nation's hosts have gathered
Round the quick alarming drum--
Saying, Come
Freemen, Come!
Ere your heritage be wasted,
Said the quick alarming drum.Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing. Never a lip is curved with pain that can't be kissed into smiles again. Never a tear bedims the eye that time and patience will not dry. The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.Your voices break and falter in the darkness,--
Break, falter, and are still. |
