When I have a little time,
I shall undo all my tears;
If I have a little time,
I shall forgo all the pain;
I wish I have a little time,
To listen and care.
Time, O! Time,
Long gone like a feather flown;
Give me a break to breathe my own,
Then think of You in spirit good.
I care not for the wind that blows,
I shall fight the gusts of heat;
I will be one day beside you,
Whispering words of sweet content;
And shelter myself in the cool drops of rain!
