THE WHARF OF DREAMS.

Herewith we publish a new poem
entitled THE Wharf of Dreams" by
Edward Markham, author of the
world famous poem THE Man With
the Hoe" The poem is as follows:
Strange wares are handled on the
wharves of sleep;
Shadows of shadows pass, and many
n light
Flashes u single fire across the night;
Barges depart whose voiceless steers
men keep
Their way without u spar upon the
deep:
And from lost ships, homing with
Ghostly crews.
Come cries of incommunicable news.
While cargoes pile the piers, a moon
white heap
Budgets of dream dust, merchandise of
song,
Wreckage of hope and packs of ancient
wrong,
Nepenthes gathered from n secret
Star1,
Fardels of heartache. burdens of old
sins.
Luggage sent down from dim ancestral
inns.
And hales of fantasy from No Mans
Land"
