There's a footstep coming look out and see	A
The leaves are falling the wind is calling	B
No one cometh across the lea	A
	-
There's a footstep coming O sister look	C
The ripple flashes the white foam dashes	D
No one cometh across the brook	C
	-
But he promised that he would come	E
Tonight tomorrow in joy or sorrow	F
He must keep his word and must come home	G
	-
For he promised that he would come	E
His word was given from earth or heaven	H
He must keep his word and must come home	G
	-
Go to sleep my sweet sister Jane	I
You can slumber who need not number	J
Hour after hour in doubt and pain	I
	-
I shall sit here awhile and watch	K
Listening hoping for one hand groping	B
In deep shadow to find the latch	L
	-
After the dark and before the light	M
One lay sleeping and one sat weeping	B
Who had watched and wept the weary night	M
	-
After the night and before the day	N
One lay sleeping and one sat weeping	B
Watching weeping for one away	N
	-
There came a footstep climbing the stair	O
Some one standing out on the landing	B
Shook the door like a puff of air	O
	-
Shook the door and in he passed	P
Did he enter In the room centre	J
Stood her husband the door shut fast	P
	-
O Robin but you are cold	Q
Chilled with the night dew so lily white you	R
Look like a stray lamb from our fold	Q
	-
O Robin but you are late	S
Come and sit near me sit here and cheer me	A
Blue the flame burnt in the grate	S
	-
Lay not down your head on my breast	T
I cannot hold you kind wife nor fold you	R
In the shelter that you love best	T
	-
Feel not after my clasping hand	U
I am but a shadow come from the meadow	F
Where many lie but no tree can stand	U
	-
We are trees which have shed their leaves	V
Our heads lie low there but no tears flow there	O
Only I grieve for my wife who grieves	V
	-
I could rest if you would not moan	W
Hour after hour I have no power	J
To shut my ears where I lie alone	W
	-
I could rest if you would not cry	X
But there's no sleeping while you sit weeping	B
Watching weeping so bitterly	A
	-
Woe's me woe's me for this I have heard	Y
Oh night of sorrow oh black tomorrow	F
Is it thus that you keep your word	Y
	-
O you who used so to shelter me	A
Warm from the least wind why now tlie east wind	Z
Is warmer than you whom I quake to see	A
	-
O my husband offlesh and blood	A2
For whom my mother I left and brother	J
And all I had accounting it good	B2
	-
What do you do there underground	C2
In the dark hollow I'm fain to follow	F
What do you do there what have you found	C2
	-
What I do there I must not tell	D2
But I have plenty kind wife content ye	A
It is well with us it is well	D2
	-
Tender hand hath made our nest	T
Our fear is ended our hope is blended	A2
With present pleasure and we have rest	T
	-
Oh but Robin I'm fain to come	E
If your present days are so pleasant	E2
For my days are so wearisome	E
	-
Yet I'll dry my tears for your sake	F2
Why should I tease you who cannot please you	R
Any more with the pains I take	F2
