And he waits and he waits.

Has returned to the ark with the bough;
And now the turtle-dove
Its desired mate
On the green banks has found. ~ 34

Come, hearken and hear him say,
THERE ARE MANY TO-MORROWS, MY LOVE, MY LOVE, —
THERE IS ONLY ONE TO-DAY.

You are soft as the nesting dove.
Come to my heart and bring it rest
As the bird flies home to its welcome nest.
