Sometime.

~Sometime," we say and turn our eyes
Toward the far hills of Paradise;
Some day, some time, a sweet new rest
Shall blossom, flower-hke, in each
breast.
Some time, some day, our eyes shall see
The faces kept in memory;
Some day their hands shall clasp our
hand
Just ours in the morning land.
Some day our ears shall hear the song
OF triumph over sin and wrong
Sometime, sometime, but ali, not yet;
Still we will wait and not forget.
That -sometime'' all these things shall
And rest shall be given to you and
So let US wait. though years move
slow,
That glad sometime" will come we
know.
