The Hardest Time of All.

There are days Of decpcst sorrow
In the sessions Of our life,
There arc wild, dcspairing moments,
There are hours Of mental strife.
There are times of stormy anguish
When the tears refuse to fall.
But the waiting time, my brother,
Is the hardest time of all.
Youth and love arc oft impatient,
Seeking things beyond their reach,
And the heart grows sick with hoping
Ere IL learns what life can teach.
For before the fruit be gathered,
We must see the blossoms fall;
And the waiting time, my brother,
Is the hardest time of all.
Loving once, and loving ever,
II Is sad to watch the years,
For the light, whose titful shining,
Makes rainbow of our tears.
II Ia said to count Mt morning
All the hours till evening fall:
Oh the waiting time, my brother,
Is the hardest time of all.
For II wears the eager spirit,
AS the salt waves wear the stone,
And hopes gorgeous garb grows thread
bare
Till Its brightest tiAts arc gone;
Then amid youths shining trcsses,
Silent SHOWS begin TO fall;
All the waiting time, my brother,
Is the hardest time Of all.
Yet Mt last we learn the lesson
That God knoweth what Is beat,
And silent resignation
Makes the spirit calm and blest,
For perchnncc day IA coming
For the changing Of our fate,
When our hearts will thank Him meekly
That lie taught us how to wait.
