SOME DAY.
You smooth the tangles from ray hair With gentle touch and tender care And count the years ere you shall mark Bright silver threads among the dark— Smiling; the while to hear me say, " You'll think of this again some day— Some day I"
I do not scorn the power of time, Nor count pn years of fadeless prime'; But no white gleams will ever shine Among the heavy locks of mine; Ay, laugh as you may, You'll think of this again some day— Some day!.
Some day I shall not feel as now. Your soft hand move about my brow ; I shall not slight your light commands, I shall be silent and obey— And you—you will not laugh that day— Some day!
I know how long your loving hands Will linger in these glossy bande, When you shall weave my latest crown Of their thick masses long and brown ; But you will ccc no touch of gray j Adorn their shining length that daySome day!
And while your tears are falling hot Upon the lips that answer not, You'll take from these one treasured tress, And leave the rest to eilentness— Bemember that I used to say, " You'll think of this again some daySome day!"
—Florence Percy
