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.
