Show I r W SHUT SHUT-IN p A ch U r WAKED to a day of darkness and cold rain I I I saidY said Would Y auld that the hours were pat pa t and the I day gone I The wet boughs in the wild wind lashed the pane I The flowers were sodden splotches upon the lawn Would that the night were here and the hours hours through I Re Restless my heart cried out and then there came A sudden shaft shafe of sun and a stain tain of blue Catching the curtained darkness like a flame t I And there was firelight dancing upon the hearth I II I j There was a small book weighted with golden lore A song rode in on the wind-waves wind of the earth A neighbor breasted the storm torm to reach my door A beloved voice came to me over the wire And there was a letter from many a mile awa away away V Vi I Shut-in Shut My heart hean was ashamed of outs its desire It would have missed so much had it missed today |
