Excerpt from Vagrant Verses: And a Play

Vagrant Verses,

And a Play.

Prefatory.

Go, wandering voices, seek an alien soil,
Make the just limit of your music heard:
Shallops of Fate, by Fortune's zephyrs stirred,
Beating to port against the tide of toil; -
Soul-flights, fenced yearnings of Life's mad turmoil,
Oft have ye cheered me through the burning hours
With a low whispering of budding flowers,
Wonders of Truth, Time's treacheries to foil,
Glitter of wave, and bloom upon the rose,
Leafage of Summer and her singing streams,
Soft stored tints that amber Autumn shows,
Long trance of Winter and his fire-side dreams -
Children of Fancy, favoured of the few,
Enough for me some hearts will welcome you.
