This Moment, Yearning and Thoughtful.
THIS moment yearning and
thoughtful, sitting alone,
It seems to me there are other men in other lands,
yearning and
thoughtful;
It seems to me I can look over and behold them, in
Prussia,
Italy, France, Spain — or far, far away,
in China, or
in Russia or India — talking other
dialects;
And it seems to me if I could know those men, I
should become
attached to them, as I do to men
in my own
lands;
O I know we should be brethren and lovers,
I know I should be happy with them.
