James Whitcomb Riley - Wait For The MorningJames Whitcomb Riley - Wait For The Morning
Work rating: Low


Wait for the morning:--It will come, indeed,   As surely as the night hath given need.   The yearning eyes, at last, will strain their sight   No more unanswered by the morning light;   No longer will they vainly strive, through tears,   To pierce the darkness of thy doubts and fears,   But, bathed in balmy dews and rays of dawn,   Will smile with rapture o`er the darkness drawn.   Wait for the morning, O thou smitten child,   Scorned, scourged and persecuted and reviled--   Athirst and famishing, none pitying thee,   Crowned with the twisted thorns of agony--   No faintest gleam of sunlight through the dense   Infinity of gloom to lead thee thence--   Wait for the morning:--It will come, indeed,   As surely as the night hath given need.
