A	Serene, I fold my hands and wait,
B	Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
A	I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
B	For, lo! my own shall come to me.

C	I stay my haste, I make delays,
D	For what avails this eager pace?
C	I stand amid the eternal ways,
D	And what is mine shall know my face.

E	Asleep, awake, by night or day,
B	The friends I seek are seeking me;
E	No wind shall drive my bark astray,
B	Nor change the tide of destiny.
F	What matter if I stand alone?
G	I wait with joy the coming years;
F	My heart shall reap where it has sown,
G	And garner up its fruit of tears.

H	The waters know their own, and draw
I	The brook that springs in yonder height;
H	So flows the good, with equal law
I	Unto the soul of pure delight.

J	The stars come nightly to the sky;
B	The tidal wave unto the sea;
J	Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
B	Can keep my own away from me.
