<h2><SPAN name="poem18"></SPAN>THE TIDES</h2>
<p class="poetry">Be careful what rubbish you toss in the
tide.<br/>
On outgoing billows it drifts from your sight,<br/>
But back on the incoming waves it may ride<br/>
And land at your threshold again before night.<br/>
Be careful what rubbish you toss in the tide.</p>
<p class="poetry">Be careful what follies you toss in
life’s sea.<br/>
On bright dancing billows they drift far away,<br/>
But back on the Nemesis tides they may be<br/>
Thrown down at your threshold an unwelcome day<br/>
Be careful what follies you toss in youth’s sea.</p>
