WHO BIDES HIS TIME.

By James Whitcomb Riley

Who bides his time—he tastes the sweet Of honey in the saltest tear; And tho he fares with slowest feet, Joy runs to meet him, drawing near; The birds are heralds of his cause, And, like a never-ending rhyme, The road-sides bloom in his applause— Who bides his time. —James Whitcomb Riley.
