"WAITING."
Where have you goue, my dearest? I waited for you to-day Till the light weut dim in the glorious west And the poplar trees turned grey; Aud my heart went sick with lougiug, With hope that was long deferred, For I thought that I heard you call mo, But it was ouly the vote of a bird. I know that I must wait for you now, sweet, Through the loug dark night of tears, Through the winter storms, aud the summer heat, Aud the toil of the empty years. But my heart will be true aud faithful, Aud uever turu hard uor cold, Till we meet in the dreamlaud garden Of the city of pearl aud gold.
