I'm a-waiting and a-watching for the day that has no end. <br />For the sun that's ever shining, for its rays that ever blend; <br />For the light that casts no shadows, for the sky that's ever fair, <br />For the rose that's ever blooming as its fragrance fills the air. <br /> <br />I'm a-waiting and a watching for the land that knows no night; <br />Where the terrors of the darkness are dispelled in morning's light, <br />Where the murmurs of the breezes blend themselves into a song, <br />And the silvery carol echoes to the heavens, soft and long. <br /> <br />I'm a-waiting and a-watching for the song that's never o'er, <br />For the joy that's never ending on that light-emblazoned shore, <br />For the peace that shall enfold me with the heaven's holy breath, <br />For the glory that shall greet me, for the life that knows no death.<br /><br />Joseph Seamon Cotter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-a-waiting-and-a-watching/
