I shall wait

Together shall we see

the rise at the dawn

and the red setting of the evening,

This I promised.

Together shall we wait

for the spring to arrive

and the fall to decorate,

This I swore.

I shall wait by the tree

by the river on its side

and the clouds shall wait too

by my promise shall they abide.

Time, we have a lot, my dear

and yet, life we have none,

I shall stand by my promise while I am

and to the day time takes itself away.
