This is my delight, thus to wait lyrics

This is my delight, thus to wait

and watch at the wayside

where shadow chases light

and the rain comes

in the wake of the summer.

Messengers, with tidings from unknown skies,

greet me and speed along the road.

My heart is glad within,

and the breath of the passing breeze is sweet.

From dawn till dusk

I sit here before my door,

and I know that of a sudden

the happy moment will arrive when I shall see.

In the meanwhile I smile

and I sing all alone.

In the meanwhile the air is filling

with the perfume of promise.
