Kate-A-Whimsies, John-A-Dream Poem by William Ernest Henley

Kate-A-Whimsies, John-A-Dream

Rating: 2.7


Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dream
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 men…
So the Infinite runs away.

We must live while live we can; We should love while love we may. Beautiful poem.
