WAITING.
BY BARTON GREY,

BY BARTON GREY,
Will the slow weeks never go?
Hark the curfew ringeth low:
Into twilight soft and gray
Melts at last the weary day;
Once again the night is here,
Are you thinking of me, Dear?
All day long my heart has heard
just one softly whispered word;
All day long your name has come
To me through the busy hum;
Everywhere in hall and street
\ on have tarried with me, Sweet.
In the faces of the crowd,
In the cries that echo loud,
All throughout the hurry ing throngs,
All amid the strife of tongues,
Nothing have heard or seen
Save your voice, your face, my Queen.
Other women come and go,
Other voices whisper low,
Other eyes grow dim or bright,
Shed or veil their changeful light;
But stand apart, alone,
waiting still for you, my own.
All that waiting. Do you feel.
Darling, as the slow days steal
Silent, one by one, away,
How my heart must yearn and pray
For the touch of lips and hand?
Darling, do you understand?
In the daily strife and stress,
DO you see the foes that press
Close and hard within, without?
All the dread and all the doubt,
All the fears that clasp and cling,
All the bitter questioning?
Fast, thongh with no clash of swords,
Gather all those phantom hordes;
And my soul, as falls the night.
Seems to lose her wonted might,
Shrinks before that dusky crew,
Prays and longs and yearns for you.
Must always watch and wait,
ENiled, famished, at your gate?
Will you not be brave and come
Ere the pleading lips be dumb?
Ere within the weary eyes
Hopes last glimmer fades and dies?
All! dear heart, be strong be true!
See, kingdom waits for you,
High above all stain or seattle
Floats Loves banner, shines Loves faith.
Enter on your reign serene
Come. my own my love. my queen.
