When You Come Home
elizabeth Powers Merriu.)
! When you come home
say il. to myself thousand times,
I whisper it at morning and at night
And breathe ii as l would prayer to
think Of it when patient stars look down,
Or when the sun shines or the raindrops
| How happy ! shall be, my heart how
light,
When you come home,
When you come home
Perchance you will come home this very
spring
When fades the snow and all the flowers
rise
When the hepaticas across the brook
| Open like tiny stars unto the sun,
Perfumed by springs own heart Spring
in my heart
When you come home.
When you come home
o may the whole great world be wra pped
in peace
Sorrow forgotten and day new born:
May there be peace in heart Of friend and
The peace that Christ to His disciples
gave;
May war have passed forever from the
And sweeter days bless you, and me, ana
all
When you come home.
When you come home
! Q 1 will gather all that's beautiful Cor
you,
The dear old home shall shine as ne ar
before,
Your room shall be made fair and fresh
and sweet,
The china that you loved shall grace the
board,
And tender lips will murmur YOUR dear
name.
Q happiness will bide with me once more
When you come home.
