I’m weary waiting here,
The chill east wind is sighing,
The autumn tints are sere,
The summer flowers are dying.
The river’s sullen way
Winds on through vacant meadows,
The dying light of day
Strives vainly with the shadows.
A footstep stirs the leaves!
The faded fields seem brighter,
The sunset gilds the sheaves,
The low’ring clouds look lighter.
The river sparkles by,
Not all the flowers are falling,
There’s azure in the sky,
And thou, my love, art calling.
(Juliana Horatia Ewing)
