A CHANCE MEETING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I had a moment's talk with him
Last Line: Where none but true men are?


I had a moment's talk with him
And saw that he was good, --
A spirit candid to the brim,
Breathing of brotherhood.

A fleeting face, a stranger face
I shall not meet again,
Yet earth is now a friendlier place,
And full of better men.

If such a whiff of soul transforms
So blessedly and far,
What of that world beyond the storms,
Where none but true men are?
