W is for Wait

Wait--don't go

Wait--the night's still young,

Wait--I'll be alone

Wait--I'm scared of the dark

Wait, please wait with me

'Til I'm gone.

"Wait till the darkness is over,

Wait till the tempest is done,

Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,

After the shower is gone.

Refrain

Whispering hope, oh how welcome thy voice,

Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice."

Septimus Winner (1891)
