• Short story

								
    Some day--not now; oh, ask me not again;
    Impassioned, low, and deep, with wild regret;
    Thy words but fill my heart with haunting pain--
    Some day, but oh, my friend--not yet--not yet.

    Perchance when time hath wrought some wondrous change,
    And fate hath swept her barriers away.
    Then, lifted to some higher, freer range.
    Thou may'st return and speak again--some day.

    Oh, leave me now--do not so coldly turn!
    Thou seest my very soul has suffered sore.
    Adieu! But, oh, some day thou canst return
    And bring that drygoods bill to me once more.
