Show IN THE NIGHT. Jfl 1H When you shall awaken ,j In some far-off town fl Distant alike by many miles ' fl And many years jH From home, & jH And all shall seem i - Unchanged 1 11 The dim light falling I By the window sill, . 1 The maple leaves Whispering beyond, $ The echo of the neighbor's steps j Coming belated by; 1 When it shall seem to you J You need but raise your hand ' To touch your mother's Sleeping face, That any whispered word Shall wake her. I For your comfort 1 ' In the awesome hour, g When you shall know That morning brings no dread Beyond the fear Of rainy days or school Then when some sense Of present time returns And youth departs, Tho heart grows old again And feels with bitterness Tho weight and pain Of all the intervening years. 1 Paul Kester in Mediae's. j |
