., poem comnosod by myself entitled, TIE
Waited for You"
I've waited long nv the river bank.
Where the hrcc2eS whispered low,
Where the soft echoes rose and SINK
In those sweet days Of the long ago,
I've counted the stnrs in the darkening sky
And waited beneath the moon,
Where tho countless shadows w1verlng lie
And the birds sing through the gloom.
Where the slcenv owl cries weird ana slow.
Where the lnnct and wren chirp, half
asleep,
And the weary pigeons are cooling low,
Where the laughing waters glide and leap.
I've waited for YOU alone and sad.
And by the river I've fingered long.
Come hlthor, my love, and make me glad.
Come Danish this gloom forlorn.
Anne O. Taylor.
