NOT bed time yet The night winds blow	A
The stars are out full well we know	A
The nurse is on the stair	B
With hand of ice and cheek of snow	A
And frozen lips that whisper low	A
'Come children it is time to go	A
My peaceful couch to share '	C
	-
No years a wakeful heart can tire	D
Not bed time yet Come stir the fire	D
And warm your dear old hands	E
Kind Mother Earth we love so well	F
Has pleasant stories yet to tell	F
Before we hear the curfew bell	F
Still glow the burning brands	E
	-
Not bed time yet We long to know	A
What wonders time has yet to show	A
What unborn years shall bring	G
What ship the Arctic pole shall reach	H
What lessons Science waits to teach	H
What sermons there are left to preach	H
What poems yet to sing	G
	-
What next we ask and is it true	I
The sunshine falls on nothing new	I
As Israel's king declared	J
Was ocean ploughed with harnessed fire	D
Were nations coupled with a wire	D
Did Tarshish telegraph to Tyre	K
How Hiram would have stared	J
	-
And what if Sheba's curious queen	L
Who came to see and to be seen	L
Or something new to seek	M
And swooned as ladies sometimes do	I
At sights that thrilled her through and through	I
Had heard as she was 'coming to '	-
A locomotive's shriek	M
	-
And seen a rushing railway train	N
As she looked out along the plain	N
From David's lofty tower	D
A mile of smoke that blots the sky	O
And blinds the eagles as they fly	O
Behind the cars that thunder by	O
A score of leagues an hour	D
	-
See to my fiat lux respond	P
This little slumbering fire tipped wand	P
One touch it bursts in flame	Q
Steal me a portrait from the sun	R
One look and to the picture done	R
Are these old tricks King Solomon	R
We lying moderns claim	Q
	-
Could you have spectroscoped a star	S
If both those mothers at your bar	S
The cruel and the mild	T
The young and tender old and tough	U
Had said 'Divide you're right though rough '	-
Did old Judea know enough	U
To etherize the child	T
	-
These births of time our eyes have seen	L
With but a few brief years between	L
What wonder if the text	V
For other ages doubtless true	I
For coming years will never do	I
Whereof we all should like a few	I
If but to see what next	V
	-
If such things have been such may be	W
Who would not like to live and see	W
If Heaven may so ordain	N
What waifs undreamed of yet in store	X
The waves that roll forevermore	X
On life's long beach may east ashore	X
From out the mist clad main	N
	-
Will Earth to pagan dreams return	Y
To find from misery's painted urn	Y
That all save hope has flown	Z
Of Book and Church and Priest bereft	A2
The Rock of Ages vainly cleft	A2
Life's compass gone its anchor left	A2
Left lost in depths unknown	Z
	-
Shall Faith the trodden path pursue	I
The crux ansata wearers knew	I
Who sleep with folded hands	E
Where like a naked lidless eye	O
The staring Nile rolls wandering by	O
Those mountain slopes that climb the sky	O
Above the drifting sands	E
	-
Or shall a nobler Faith return	Y
Its fanes a purer gospel learn	Y
With holier anthems ring	G
And teach us that our transient creeds	B2
Were but the perishable seeds	B2
Of harvests sown for larger needs	B2
That ripening years shall bring	G
	-
Well let the present do its best	C2
We trust our Maker for the rest	C2
As on our way we plod	D2
Our souls full dressed in fleshly suits	E2
Love air and sunshine flowers and fruits	E2
The daisies better than their roots	E2
Beneath the grassy sod	D2
	-
Not bed time yet The full blown flower	X
Of all the year this evening hour	X
With friendship's flame is bright	F2
Life still is sweet the heavens are fair	X
Though fields are brown and woods are bare	X
And many a joy is left to share	X
Before we say Good night	F2
	-
And when our cheerful evening past	G2
The nurse long waiting comes at last	G2
Ere on her lap we lie	O
In wearied nature's sweet repose	H2
At peace with all her waking foes	H2
Our lips shall murmur ere they close	I2
Good night and not Good by	O
