SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 108 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: ANOTHER DAY COMES UP
Last Line: AND LIFT THE LATCH OF YOUR DOOR.
Subject(s): TIME; WAITING;

Another day comes up,
Wears over, and goes down;
And it seems an age has passed
In a little seaboard town,
To one who must weary and wait
Till the sun comes round once more,
Before he may tap on the pane
And lift the latch of your door.
