/ have come home again to mea dow
land and orchard,
And the dear, cool fingers of home
wind fast about my own.
While broken words of love are sound
ing at my shoulder
saying-You were away. and every
thing was lone.
The hills you knew. and meadow-land,
and house were empty.
The cherries blossomed and the petals
fell unseen.
The dark fruit rounded. ripened. and
was gathered,
And OH. how empty was the place
where you had been!
Som etimes the dogs would come. whin-
ing softly for you.
Asking for romp across the windy
fields once more,
Wondering what kept you so, worried
and bewi!dered
Waiting for your eager step. your
whistle at tine door,
Yes, I am home again. the chimney
smoke is rising
Straight against the sunset. and 10.
window CLEANS:
But there's no voice at my shoulder
no clasp Of dear cool fingers.
Only the quiet frost and the dim eyed
