Till the thiokening buds on the ehcsnut boughs
Grow leafy and full overhead.

And lines on my temples arc sown;

And the whitc summer clover is mown

In autumn camd fiuttcring down.
I have waited through light and through darkness
t have waited through sunshine and rain;

Come back from the rough sen again.
