WAITING
JOHN BURROUGHS
Serene, I fold my hands and
wait,
Nor care for wind,
nor tide, nor sea;
I rave no more ’gainst
time or fate,
For lo! my own
shall come to 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 I
seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark
astray
Nor change the
tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy
the coming years;
My heart shall reap where
it has sown,
And garner up
its fruit of tears.
