Classic Poem

" Waiting to ... "
" Who is? "
" We are ...
Was that the night-owl's cry? "
" I heard not. But see! the evening star;
And listen! — the ocean's solacing sigh. "
" You mean the surf at the harbour bar? "
" What did you say? "
" Oh, " waiting." "
" " Waiting?"
Waiting what for? "
To die. "
