The Distance

 

What be these fields of distant place

from where thy heart to mine

the gap of years not yet displaced

tread forth unknown of thine


The rapid pace unseen unheard

of ticking fads and ways

the future works and winding paths

that thus make full thy days


The fear and dread with painful trends

paint visions in thy head

some thus fulfilled and others blind

tread willfully instead


The laughs and cheers of joyful times

the love that lie before

where disappointments n'er prevail

and hate doth reign no more


But aging thou not unlike mine

the saunt'ring pass shall see

when thou dost look on coming age

those futures yet to be
