I
O, little wind of every day,
O, little wind of hope,
Bring to me love
Beside the way,
O, little wind of every day!
II
There’s vexing work for scanty keep,
With tears for daily drink,
And but this cup
To bring me sleep,
This cup of golden love dream-deep.
III
O, little wind of every day,
O, little wind of hope,
Bring to me love
Beside the way,
O, little wind of every day!
WAIT AWHILE
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.
