The Modern Way.

I freighted them with hopes and fe&ra To sail across the foam. And vainly have I waited since To see my ships come home. But, ah, my ships were far too tight For crests they had to brave. Too deep the seas of destiny, Too towering the wave. T - _, ’ 1 ! i"- f' ■- 1 ■; And. oh, my ships drew too much draught For waters that were charmed. Too shallow was the stream of chance To bear them on unharmed. When seas are filled and streams are My ships may safely float. Bo I must wait till powers make The tides to fit the boat. —McLandburgh Wilson.
