Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

Vigil


You will come back, sometime, somehow;
But if it will be bright or black
I cannot tell; I only know
You will come back.


Does not the spring with fragrant pack
Return unto the orchard bough?
Do not the birds retrace their track?


All things return. Some day the glow
Of quick'ning dreams will pierce your lack;
And when you know I wait as now
You will come back.

Written by Angelina W. Grimke (1880-1958)
