WAITING,

WAITING.
have waited for thy coming
Many years;
And my heart is ossed and tortured
With its fears.
In midnight visions behold thee
Far away,
And awake to love thee only
All the day.
Time the wrecker and destroyer,
Down the air
Sits the white sand through his fingers,
On my hair.
To the borders of life's winter,
Drawing nigh;
And the harvest moon is fading
From the sky.
Through the summer woods I've wandered
All alone,
With weight upon my spirit
Like stone.
have sown beside all waters
Loving thee
In the sunshine and the shadow,
Warm and free.
I had hoped to reap right early
Something sweet,
And something that would mako
My home complete.
Love was given, nothing doubling,
Lavishly;
Strong and constant, never changing,
AS the sea.
I am sad, and am lonely
Weary, too;
If there's truth outside of Heaven,
Thou art true.
And I'll wait as have waited,
Evermore,
For the music of thy footstep
At my door.

one, that the latters slim figure out to be
ohalksd on the others portly person, and if
the bullet hit him outside the chalk mark, il
was to go for nothing.

And smiles in The face Of detection;
Which brings not a though. that is gloomy and

Tis folly to pine for the treasure we've lost
The pleasures We never hav. tasted;
The blossoms that died with the earliest FROST
The dreams ola life tina. are wasted.
This grievins for tina! We can never recall
We find but useless endeavor;
For truly LIES hopes like the leaves in the
Fall.
Once faded, are faded forever.
Fresh Springs may return with their treasures
anew,
And leahvt and blossom bfquea,h US;
But these. it was once our delight t, review.
Lie sca.tersd and withered beneath US.
Then sorrow no more for the hope shat ia fed;
What's gone VIC can never recover;
Fresh hop, will arise IN the place Of tho dead
And bloom JUST a, bright q, the other.
