“Hush,” a voice from the far away,

“Listen and learn,” it seemed to say

“All the to-morrows shall be as to-day,

The cord is frayed, the cruse is dry,

The link must break and the lamp must die,

Then good-bye to hope, good-bye, good-bye.”

“What are we waiting for, oh my heart?

Kiss me straight on the brows and part

Again! Again! My heart! My heart!

What are we waiting for you and I?
