Whispering hoarsely, "Fishermen,
Have you, have you heard of Ben?"
  Old with watching,
Hannah 's at the window, binding shoes.

  Twenty winters
Bleach and tear the ragged shore she views.
  Twenty seasons:—
Never one has brought her any news.
Still her dim eyes silently
Chase the white sails o'er the sea:
  Hopeless, faithful,
Hannah 's at the window, binding shoes.
