Not Having Her Here Not having her here, just not having hav-ing her here by his side After thirty-four years spent together to-gether since she was his bride Well, somehow, we can't seem exactly ex-actly to sense that it's so In spite of her suffering, we never quite figured she's go At least not for years, And our eyes brim 'with tears, As we think of him, going on, trying try-ing to smile, And closing his ears To thoughts of not having her here the rest of the while. Not having her need him the way she has year after year To -work for her, wait on her, add to her comfort and cheer Forgetting himself in his kindness . to hex every day, Never going too far, or being too long gone away. It is all this -we know That is breaking him so. He'll have memories, yes, that will He'll have memories, yes, that may come with a smile and a tear, Where'er he may go, But it -won't be the same any more now, Not having hex here. Not having her here to enjoy their bright cottage and keep It spotless -to clean it and dust it and sweep Not to take her each evening out into the cool pleasant air In the nice little car; not to feel her great need of his care; Not to hear any more Her call froiu iiexr quji , For she called always pleasantly just his first name Times score upon score And now mot having her here It won't be the same. Not having her here, just suffering suffer-ing day afteT day, Is all that consoles him, or us, in her going away; He can have- no regrets, for he's given his life's level best For her comfort and joy and has splendidly stood the long test Of patience, his love For his partner to prove. And it's going to be lonely for him, year after year, But there's still One above Wio will temper his sorrow because be-cause of Not having her here. |
