A poem by William Ernest Henley

Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dreams

________________________________________________
Title:     Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dreams
Author: William Ernest Henley [More Titles by Henley]

Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dreams,
Still debating, still delay,
And the world's a ghost that gleams -
Wavers--vanishes away!

We must live while live we can;
We should love while love we may.
Dread in women, doubt in man . . .
So the Infinite runs away.

1876
