WAITING.

Serene fold my hands and wait.
Nor care for wind. nor tide. nor sea:
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate.
For. loi my own shall come 70 me.
I STAY my haste. I make DELAYS,
For what avails this eager pace,
I stand amid the eternal ways.
And what Is mine shall know my face
Asleep. awake. by night or day
The friends seek are seeking rue.
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide OF destiny.
What matter ~ stand alone,
l wait with Joy the coming years:
My heart shall reap where IL has sown,
Aud garner up its fruit OF tears.
The waters know their own. and draw
The brook that springs in yondes
heights:
SO flows the good with equal law
Unto the sour OF pure delights.
The stars come nightly to the sky.
The tidal wave unto the sea:
Nor time. nor space. nor deep. nor high.
Can keep my own away from me.
