LEARNING TO WAIT. Oh. sweet baby face at the window, Oh! dear little girl at the gate, Yon are learning Life’s hardest lesson, The lesson of learning to wait. And minutes seem hours in passing, While the hours are eons of time, The clock’s hands stand still while we watch them, The hells have forgotten to chime. Brave youth at the portal of manhood, Fair maiden at womanhood’s door, Are waiting in breathless impatience, The gifts that gods hold in store. While rn.ainh.ood is ardently waiting The crown of. his victories won, Reward for his glorious achievements, And rest after toiling is done. From morning of life until evening, We wait with what patience we may, For the -blessings of life as,we. see them, And love tliat has "wandered away. And when, sunset fades into the twilight, We linger awhile at the gate, Tired faces turned wistfully upward, For passing and! promise still wait. —lrene Pomeroy Shields.
