WAITING
Why should I wait, O Lover!
Hearing thy call? I come.
Wait? when thou dost discover
Thy heart—my home.
Hearing thy call? I come.
Wait? when thou dost discover
Thy heart—my home.
Why should I wait, Belovèd!
Ready to meet thy call?
What though thou be unprovèd,
Thine am I, all.
Ready to meet thy call?
What though thou be unprovèd,
Thine am I, all.
Yet could I wait, dear Lover!
Wanting thy voice (O heart!)
Were it but one step over
To where thou art.

Were it but one step over
To where thou art.
