I think the longest Hour of all

I think the longest Hour of all
Is when the Cars have come --
And we are waiting for the Coach --
It seems as though the Time

Affronted[^a1]Indignant -- that the joy was come --
Did block the Gilded Hands --
And would not let the Seconds by --
But slowest instant -- ends --

[^a1: Affronted | Affronted]

The Pendulum begins to count --
Like little Scholars -- loud --
The steps grow thicker -- in the Hall --
The Heart begins to crowd --

Then I -- my timid service done --
Tho' service 'twas, of Love --
Take up my little Violin --
And further North -- remove.
