Dreamers and Other Poems

<p><SPAN name="A_SONG" id="A_SONG"></SPAN>A SONG</p> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">I am as weary as a child</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">That weeps upon its mother's breast</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">For joy of comforting. But I</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">Have no such place to rest.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">I am as weary as a bird</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">Blown by wild winds far out to sea</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">When it regains its nest. But, Oh,</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">There waits no nest for me.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">What think you may sustain the bird</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">That finds no housing after flight?</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">And what the little child console</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">Who weeps alone at night?</span><br/> <hr style="width: 65%;" /> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
