Nobody Knows But Father.

Nobody knows of the money 1t takes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the debts 1t makes.
Nobody k~nows-but father.
Nobody's told that the boys need shoes,
And girls hats with a feather;
Nobody else old clothes must choose,
Eobody-only father.
Nobody hears that the coal and wood
And f1our's out together
Nobody else must make them good,
Nobody-only father.
Nobody's hand in the pocket goes
So often, wondering whether
There's any end to the wants of those
Denendent-only father.
Nobody thinks where the money will come
To pay the bills that gather;
Nobody feels so blue and glum,
Nobody-only father.
Nobody tries so hard to lay
Up something for bad weather
And runs behind, do what he may,
Nobody-only father.
Nobody comes from the worlds cruel storm
To meet dear once who gather
Around with loving welcome warm,
Nobody does-bu father.
Nobody knows of the home-life pure,
Watched over by a mother,
Where rest aud bliss are all secure,
Nobody can-but father.
