One Day in May The day broke dismal, cold and gray, That morn in May, that early morn in May. The dark gray clouds were scudding by, felt depressed, I wondered why? And then I knew, dear heart, I knew, You had to go away, that day; To work. 1 No fireplace log, within the house to bum, To keep me warm till your return; No step, no voice, to break the quiet spell, No cherry song, no fragrant smell Of you. Only a quiet lonely place, Only a quiet, vacant space; Awaiting your return. But, still I feel your presence round the place, I almost feel your breath, your warm embrace. And if my eyes I close, I think I see; You standing there, and smiling down at me. And so my heart fires never cease to burn, While watching, waiting for your glad return; From work. CO.
