That noon factory whistle is driving
no light-headed
(See where John goes ploughing
with the team'
lit but three month* since he and
T were wedded
And I stand bewitched like a ghoetie
m a dream
The factory whistle does It—it
sounds like a liner
A ship coming in on the lift ot the
tide,
With her gay /lags flying and the
sea like green jade
Curdling to whit* as it slaps at hei
side
I can see him now coming swift
through the twilight
Down the long gangway—swinging
down to me:
And 1 waiting—Jealous of the wind s
quick fingers,
Fondling his black hair, sally wnh
the sea
Dear Ood, have pity, I thought I
had it buried
The factory whistle does tt. with its
liner tone .
Ah, Gerald -hush Td make John a
good wife
If only that whistle would let me
alone
