HOPE'S SONG OF PATIENCE.
A beautiful answer was given by a little Scotch girl, when her class at school was examined: she replied to the question, What is patience?—"Wait a wee and dinna weary."
Wait a wee, and dinna weary—
'Tis a tender, sweet refrain,
When the way seems dark and dreary;
Sing it o'er and o'er again:
A balm doth Patience bring for pain—
Then wait a wee, and dinna weary.
'Tis a tender, sweet refrain,
When the way seems dark and dreary;
Sing it o'er and o'er again:
A balm doth Patience bring for pain—
Then wait a wee, and dinna weary.
Dinna weary, wait a wee—
A brighter day will shine for thee,
E'en now its rosy dawn I see.
Hope bids me whisper this to thee—
Then dinna weary, wait a wee,
O! dinna weary, wait a wee.
A brighter day will shine for thee,
E'en now its rosy dawn I see.
Hope bids me whisper this to thee—
Then dinna weary, wait a wee,
O! dinna weary, wait a wee.
