"All things come to those who wait." True or faux I do not know. Do you know the source?

Ever hear of Lady Montgomery Currie? Her pseudonym is Violet Fane. She wrote a poem in French titled "Tout Vient Aqui Sait Attendre" in 1892 the English translation of which is below. What we never knew or heard was how it ends. We just were told "wait and whatever it is that you want will come to you." Well that was just one shoe.


All hoped for things will come to you
Who have the strength to watch and wait
The longings spur the steeds of fate
This has been said by one who knew

Ah, ALL THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT
(I say these words to make me glad)
But something answers soft and sad
They come but often come too late
