On Expecting Some Books.


Tomorrow they will come. know
How rich their sweet contents are, so
Upon their dress let fancy play
Will it be blue, red, green or gray?
Sweet books that / have oft heard named
And seen stand up like blossoms framed.
Through many common window shown
When l was mOneyless in town;
But never touched their leaves, not bent
Close to them and inhaled their scent.
They'll come like snowdrops to a bee
That, tired of empty dreams, can see
Real flowers at last. Until this time,
Now on the threshold of my prime,
did not guess my poverty:
That none of these rich books, that lie
Untouched on many shelf-save when
A housemaid, dreaming of young men,
And music, sport, and dance, and dress
Will bang them for their business
That none of these were in my care
Tomorrow l will have them here.
Well do | know their value: they
VIII not be purses found, which may
Be full of coppers, nails, or keys
They will not disappoint, like these.
o. may their coming never cease.
Nav my book-family increase!
Clothes pictures ornaments of show,
Trinkets and mirrors-these can go
Outside that ali my books may be
Together in one room with me.
