SOME day I shall hope to come again and find you
With that same serenity of sweetness in your smile
And three small children who may not mind you
Better than normal youngsters do ...
They will be scrubbed and red and boyish ...
And we shall sit and talk a while
(Two children on my knees, the one with you
Too shy to answer my advances)
In a room that shows your work
Through a comfortable disarray that still is neat.
For to your sort of heart no circumstances
Bred of poverty or wealth can bring defeat
And I'll come back some day just for the joy
(Joy sweetened with sorrow that such a wife
By the errancies of wanderlust exile
Had been forbidden to my life)
Of seeing your old smile
Light at the chatter of your youngest boy.
