SOME DAY.
Some day I shall be dead,
Some day this tired head,

Some day / shall be dead,
Some day this tired head,
With all the anxious thoughts it now doth
know,
Shall be laid low
This body, pain-rackel, i'll,
Shall lie at length, and still,
Under the clover and the wind-swept grass,
Nor hear you pass.
That were, indeed, strange sleep,
When even you might weep,
And come, and go-even you-unheard of ma
As bird or bee.
Nay, sweetheart, nay believe
Here is no cause to grieve.
One so wayworn, of trouble SO opprest,
Is glad of rest.
Perchance, when that release
Hath wrought its spell of peace,
Ger this unquiet heart, long vext with VICE.
Heart's-ease may grow.
Who loves me will not weep
When that lie asleep,
But rather JOY to think such sorrow may
Have end some day.
