THIS MOMENT YEARNING AND THOUGHTFUL.
THIS moment yearning and thoughtful sitting alone, |
It seems to me there are other men in other lands yearning and
thoughtful,
|
It seems to me I can look over and behold them in Germany,
Italy, France, Spain,
|
Or far, far away, in China, or in Russia or Japan, talking other
dialects,
|
And it seems to me if I could know those men I should become
attached to them as I do to men in my own lands,
|
O I know we should be brethren and lovers, |
I know I should be happy with them. |
