COME HOME I
A CHILD was playing on a summer strand That fringed the wavelets of a sunny sea.
The mother looked in love. "' Now build," said she, " Your splendid golden castles where you stand; But when the wave has beaten all to sand,
You must come home." 4" Ah I not so soon," said he.
And now the night has darkened out his glee And sad-eyed Grief has taken him by the hand.
No more the years shall find him free and wild And madly merry as a Maytime bird;
For earth has nothing like the home he craves, And pauseless Time is rolling bitter waves
On all his palaces. He waits the word Away beyond the blue: " Come home, my child."
RrCHfARD HODGSON.
Cambridge, July, 1879.
