Patient Children of the World

How long can patience wait,
When everything is in haste?
To patience, when you cheer and woo,
What is time? When it flows a river’s journey?

Yes! Oh! yes! Life is early,
To noon and night…
Those mystic dawns and dusk,
Astounding shades, bright morning suns,
As earth does around, those patience are pretences!

Almighty voice, hear my words,
As I reclaim, who are you?
And yet you turn the tides,
Smooth and soft,
Gentle wind,
Tranquility and clash…

And when everything you turn at pace,
Why do your children wait?
