SOME DAY OF DAYS.
Some day, some day OF days, thread
ing the street
With idle, needless pace,
Unlocking for such grace,

Some day, some day OF days, thus
may we meet.
Perchance the sun may shine from
skies of May
Or winters icy chill
Touch Whitley vale and hill;
What matter shall thrill
Through every vein with summer on
that day.
Once more life's perfect youth will ali
come back.
And for moment there
! shall stand fresh and fait
And drop the garment. care;
Once more my perfect youth shall
nothing lack.

twill be,
How. face TO face. each soul

Forget the dismal dole
OF dreary fa.e's dark, separating sea.
And glance to glance. and hand to

The past with all its fears,
It's silence, and its tears.
It's lonely, yearning years,
Shall vanish in the moment of that
meeting.
