A Song of the Future

Sail fast, sail fast, /
Ark of my hopes, ark of my dreams; |
Sweep lordly Ger the drowned past
Fly glittering through the suns |
strange beams,
Sail fast, sail fast.
Breaths of new buds from off some |
drying lea
With news about the future scent I
the sea;
My brain is beating like the heart Of
haste
III loose me bird upon this present |
waste;
Go, trembling song,
And stay not long; oh, stay. not long:
Thou'rt only a gray and sober dove,
But thine eye is faith and thy wing
is love. Sidney Lanier.
