William Ernest Henley

Kate-A-Whimsies, John-A-Dream

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.
