;■ 1 \ The Waiting World \ I Hush thy noise—listen I j ■ The mighty world stirs and groans j j aloud, j : And the white hands of the peoples j | Strain upwards to the skies, : i And their souls are afraid • : For the bewilderment that is in their : ■ eyes. , ■ • , j j Hush, turn from the song of spring j : To gaze a while at the Waiting j { world— j ■ The vast lands outflung, , • j And the thin cries that ring unerringly, s j Damnably ooer the barriers. .. ■ j We haoe a secret here, we two— : • But hush a while, and turn aside to j j the world. i ■ —Barbara Dent. •
