WAIT AWHILE
Reading edition
I
If you would know my mother-heart, Then wait awhile, be still; Watch for the settling dusky light, The silence, on the hill; And wait awhile, be still.
II
Love, heed the clap of little hands, Of leaves upon my trees; And hear the travelling of the wind, The moving of the seas; Then wait awhile, be still.
III
If you would know my mother-heart, But watch the wasting day! The wind steps softly in the corn, The light slips to the hill; Love, wait awhile, be still.
