MORNING MUSINGS.

III. — PATIENCE

"Tout vient à qui sait attendre."

Only be patient, all will come
To one who knoweth how to wait;
The wished-for, love-desired home —
Ah yes, it cometh soon or late.

Ah yes, it cometh; see the star
Of hope in darkest clouds arise:
Ah yes, it cometh; see from far
The dawning red in eastern skies.

O my beloved, we shall see,
When all the weary years are o’er,
How very sweet the days will be,
For you and me, forevermore.
