THE TIME WILL COME by GEORGE MURRAY (1830-1910)

First Line: THE TIME WILL COME, WHEN THOU AND I
Last Line: THE TIME WILL COME.
Subject(s): HOPE; LONGING; LOVE - LOSS OF; PASSION; OPTIMISM;

The time will come, when thou and I
Shall meet once more before we die;
The links of passion's broken chain
Shall be united once again,
In coming days for which we sigh.

And thus the sorrows I defy
That cloud the sunshine of our sky,
For Hope still sings her sweet refrain,
The time will come.

O that the hours which loiter by
Would match my swift desire, and fly:
But fond impatience I restrain,
Sure that Love's trust is not in vain,
And that in answer to my cry,
The time will come.
