<h3 id="The_Way_to_Wait">The Way to Wait</h3>
<p>O WHETHER by the lonesome road that lies across the lea<br/>
Or whether by the hill that stoops, rock-shadowed, to the sea,<br/>
Or by a sail that blows from far, my love returns to me!</p>
<p>No fear is hidden in my heart to make my face less fair,<br/>
No tear is hidden in my eye to dim the brightness there—<br/>
I wear upon my cheek the rose a happy bride should wear.</p>
<p>For should he come not by the road, and come not by the hill<br/>
And come not by the far seaway, yet come he surely will—<br/>
Close all the roads of all the world, love’s road is open still!</p>
<p>My heart is light with singing (though they pity me my fate<br/>
And drop their merry voices as they pass the garden gate)<br/>
For love that finds a way to come, can find a way to wait!</p>
