Far down the laneA
A window paneA
Gleams 'mid the trees through night and rainA
The weeds are denseB
Through which a fenceB
Of pickets rambles none sees whenceB
Before a porch all indistinct of lineC
O'er grown and matted with wistaria vineC
-
No thing is heardD
No beast or birdD
Only the rain by which are stirredD
The draining leavesE
And trickling eavesE
Of crib and barn one scarce perceivesE
And garden beds where old time flow'rs hang wetF
The phlox the candytuft and mignonetteF
-
The hour is lateF
At any rateF
She has not heard him at the gateF
Upon the roofG
The rain was proofG
Against his horse's galloping hoofG
And when the old gate with its weight and chainA
Creaked she imagined 't was the wind and rainA
-
Along he stealsH
With cautious heelsH
And by the lamplit window kneelsH
And there she sitsH
And rocks and knitsH
Within the shadowy light that flitsH
On face and hair so sweetly sad and grayI
Dreaming of him she thinks is far awayI
-
Upon his cheeksH
Is it the streaksH
Of rain as now the old porch creaksH
Beneath his strideF
Then warm and wideF
The door flings and she's at his sideF
'Mother ' and he back from the war her boyJ
Kisses her face all streaming wet with joyJ
