I think to night I could bear it all	A
Even the arrow that cleft the core	B
Could I wait again for your swift footfall	A
And your sunny face coming in at the door	B
With the old frank look and the gay young smile	C
And the ring of the words you used to say	D
I could almost deem the pain worth while	C
To greet you again in the olden way	D
	-
But you stand without in the dark and cold	E
And I may not open the long closed door	B
Nor call thro' the night with the love of old	E
Come into the warmth as in nights of yore	B
I kneel alone in the red fire glow	F
And hear the wings of the wind sweep by	G
You are out afar in the night I know	F
And the sough of the wind is like a cry	G
	-
You are out afar and I wait within	H
A grave eyed woman whose pulse is slow	F
The flames round the red coals softly spin	H
And the lonely room's in a rosy glow	F
The firelight falls on your vacant chair	I
And the soft brown rug where you used to stand	J
Dear never again shall I see you there	I
Nor lift my head for your seeking hand	J
	-
Yet sometimes still and in spite of all	A
I wistful look at the fastened door	B
And wait again for the swift footfall	A
And the gay young voice as in hours of yore	B
It still seems strange to be here alone	K
With the rising sob of the wind without	L
The sound takes a deep insisting tone	K
Where the trees are swinging their arms about	L
	-
Its moaning reaches the sheltered room	M
And thrills my heart with a sense of pain	N
I walk to the window and pierce the gloom	M
With a yearning look that is all in vain	N
You are out in a night of depths that hold	E
No promise of dawning for you and me	O
And only a ghost from the life of old	E
Has come from the world of memory	O
	-
You are out evermore God wills it so	F
But ah my spirit is yearning yet	P
As I kneel alone by the red fire glow	F
My eyes grow dim with the old regret	P
O when shall the aching throb grow still	Q
The warm love life turn cold at the core	B
Must I be watching against my will	Q
For your banished face in the opening door	B
	-
It may be dear when the sequel's told	E
Of the story read to its bitter close	R
When the inner meanings of life unfold	E
And the under side of our being shows	S
It may be then in that truer light	T
When all our knowledge has larger grown	K
I may understand why you stray to night	T
And I am left with the past alone	K
