Across the lonely chamber floor
And down the passage through the hall
The little feet resouud no mora
There cometh through the open door
No merry voice, no laughing call
Across the lonely chamber floor
But where the sunlight flashes DER
Gray tapestry and pictured wall,
The little feet resound no more!
Perchance upon a distant shore
They wander now--no more to fall
Across the lonely chamber floor
Why comes the summer to restore
Bright holyhocks and lilies tal?-
The little feet resound no more!
Alas for Hopes deceptive lorel
Her words are desolation al;
Across the lonely chamber flor
The little feet resound no more!
