VIOLIN SONGS: WAITING by GEORGE MACDONALD

Poet Analysis

First Line: I WAITED FOR THE MASTER
Last Line: LO, THE MASTER CAME!
Subject(s): LIGHT; WAITING;

I WAITED for the Master
In the darkness dumb;
Light came fast and faster—
My light did not come!

I waited all the daylight,
All through noon's hot flame:
In the evening's gray light,
Lo, the Master came!
