WAITING. Oh the weary wind sobs thro' the pine trees, And the moaning waves beat on the shore. And the sails they pass in the twilight, But the ship I love comes neverniore. She sailed from the port in the spring time XYhen turquoise and bright was the sea, XVhen the robins were nesting and singing And the Flowers in bloom on the lea, Then Came summer in beauty and plenty, And Autumn with harvest of gold. Then winter that set our hearts throbbing Ax we watched thro' the pitiless cold. And many a year have I waited Thro' the spring tide and summer of life, I have watched for that ship's masts and rigging While my heart waged a pitiful strife. And I'll wait through the autumn and winter, And I'l1 wait 'tilliI leave earth's dark shore, I'l1 be true to my own Breton laddie, 'Though the good ship return neverniore.
