Poesy

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,faraway,in China, or in Russia or India⁠—talking other dialects;And it seems to me if I could know those men, I should become attached to them, as I do tomenin myown lands;O I know we should be brethren and lovers,I know I should be happy with them.
