Slumber and dream of the fast coming years, That are unfolding before thee; Dream thou of those whom love endears, Who now so fondly watch o'er thee; Who now so fondly watch o'er thee. Gathering clouds will not fail to o'ertake thee. Only a true love will never forsake thee. Bide but a little longer! Bide but a little longer! Bide thou but a little longer! Slumber and dream of the splendor of Spring, Joy to o'erflowing is given; Hark! how the birds so tenderly sing, Love reigns on earth as in heaven; Love reigns on earth as in heaven. Seasons pass o'er thee, but thou art not heeding, Thy time of promise towards thee is speeding. Bide but a little longer! Bide but a little longer! Bide thou but a little longer! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 31 by JAMES JOYCE THE LITTLE FIRE IN THE WOODS by HAYDEN CARRUTH LET ME NOT LOSES MY DREAM by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE YOUNG WARRIOR by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CORPORATE ENTITY by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH DOMESDAY BOOK: REV.
