| | From “Song Nets”
I WONDERED and wondered … | |
| I saw a comrade of mine; | |
| It was a wave smooth and blue | |
| That tossed … fell away. | |
| I wondered and wondered … | 5 |
| I saw a mountain white with old age: | |
| I could not remember | |
| How I came there. | |
| I wondered and wondered … | |
| Under a motherly sky | 10 |
| That knew my name and kind, | |
| That rested my tired thoughts, | |
| That said, “I have a rainbow for you, Hilda, | |
| And a young moon, hidden.” | | | | |
