Footsteps on the Other Side

Footsteps on the Other Side.
Sitting in my humble doorway,
Gazing out into the night,
Listening to the stormy tumult
With kind of sad delight
Wait for the loved who comes not,
One whose step long to hear:
One who though he fingers from me,
Soft he comes-now heart be quick
Leaping intriumphant pride,
Oh it is a stranger footstep
Gone by on the other side.
All the night seems filled with weeping,
Winds are wailing mournfnlly
And the rain and tears together
Journey to a restless sea,
can fancy, sea, you murmur,
As they with your waters flow,
Like the grief Of single beings,
Making up a nations woe
Branches bid your guests be silent:
Hush q moment fretful rain
Breeze, stop sighing-let me listen,
God grant not again in vain.
In my cheek the blood is rosy,
Like the bushes of a bride,
Joy Alas a stranger footsep -
Goes by ON the other side.
All how many wait forever,
For the steps that do not come!
Wait until the plying angels
Bear them to a peaceful home
Many in the still of midnight.
In the streets have lain and died.
While the sound eff human footsteps
Went by on the other side.
