Song - Wait But A Little While
WAIT but a little while-
The bird will bring
A heart in tune for melodies
Unto the spring,
Till he who -s in the cedar there
Is moved to trill a song so rare,
And pipe her fair.
Wait but a little while-
The bud will break;
The inner rose will open and glow
For summer-s sake;
Fond bees will lodge within her breast
Till she herself is plucked and prest
Where I would rest.
Wait but a little while-
The maid will grow
Gracious with lips and hands to thee,
With breast of snow.
To-day Love -s mute, but time hath sown
A soul in her to match thine own,
Though yet ungrown.
Norman Rowland Gale
