By and By

By Peter Prince

WHERE’ER heavy hearts are beating, Comes the gentle, whispered greeting, Hope’s sweet voice is e’er repeating, By and by! by and by! Chase the tear-drop, check the sigh, Joy is coming by and by.
Rosy childhood’s pulse is bounding, To that magic whisper sounding, Telling of the joys abounding, By and by! by and by! Haste the moments, let them fly— Joys, we’ll grasp them by and by!
And to manhood, tried and weary, Through the work hours, long and dreary, Steals an echo, soft yet cheery, By and by! by and by! Flinch not, pause not, guerdon high Shall reward thee by and by!
— Peter Prince.
