THE MAROON TIGER Feb.-March, 1927 Vol. 2 Nos. 4-5 cAt c&he "Tool - -- ^ -^r *— -mtsm I sit beside the pool and sigh, Where bubbling waters smile; They tarn to me their sparkling foam And bid me drink, my thirst to quench, But I stir not. All day I sit and long and pine; All day my heart grows faint. “Oh touch us only with thy tongue And quench the burning of thy soul." But I touch not. And while I sit in pensive mood Beside the swelling pool, A thousand tongues stoop down and drink, Ten thousand gather on the brink, But I stir not “Why dost thou pause beside the pool?” A stranger speaks to me, “Why dost not sip the waters cool? Why sit thou here and wait and pine While others come?” “These satisfy the greed of men; These satisfy the lust of men; The soul that of some higher truth dost thirst, Must ope its lips above of the cool of some eternal fount. Where greed and lust and vain desires of men Disturb nor taint the chastening spray” And still 1 sit beside the pool and sigh, Where bubbling waters smile; They turn to me their sparkling foam And bid me drink, my thirst to quench, But I drink not.
