Text Appearing Before Image:
d I look and stare in sad surprise: Tho1 I knew all the time twas my shadow there, I could but gaze with a sorrowing stare At the face outside of the window. There are lines in that face—how came they there? Why furrowed! and when? one may scarcely knoT* They are traces perchance of sin and care— Or a sweet dead joy or a living woe, O face at the window why furrowed so? The hair on its forehead is streaked with white, And its eyes have only a failing light. And I sigh and wipe off a tear astray. And some one wipes another away From the face outside of the window Phantom of Self that follows onAnd on and on through the black, wet night;Tis a weary watch for the struggling dawn,For the day with its glory of blaze and light:With my soul and myself tis a weary night,Have you done your best O Soul, been true?Have you done your best, O Self, have you?Why traces of care—why furrows of sin?Why a sad regret of a might have beenOn the face Outside of the window? Blasts From The Rams Horn.
