The Calcutta Review, 3rd Series/Volume 16/The Dream-Ship

THE DREAM-SHIP

Far on the dim horizon line,
Where the sea and the sky are one,
I look for the sail of my dream-ship,
That comes when the day is done.

It carries a cargo of mystery,
Strange gifts from the distant blue;
O Sailor, who hails from the farthest sea,
Say will my dreams come true?
