Since She Went Home.
Since she went borne— The evening shadows linger longer here, • ■, The winter days fill so much of the year. And even snmmer winds are chill and drear. Since Ehe went home. Since she went home— The robin’s note has touched a minor strain, The old glad songs breathe but a sad refrain, And laughter sobs with hidden, b’tter pain, Since she went home. Since she went home — How still the empty room her presence blessed ; Untouched the pillow that her dear head preyed ; My lonely heart has nowhere for itß rest. Since she went home: Since she went home— The long, long days have crept , away like years, The Bunlight has been dimmed with doubts and fears, And the dark nights have rained in lonely tears, Since she went home. Robert J. Burdette.
