Poems (Henley)/Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dreams

by William Ernest Henley

XXX

Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dreams, Still debating, still delay,And the world's a ghost that gleams— Wavers—vanishes away!

We must live while live we can; We should love while love we may.Dread in women, doubt in man . . . So the Infinite runs away.

1876
