'We're going home!' I heard two lovers say,         They kissed their friends and bade them bright good-byes;         I hid the deadly hunger in my eyes,     And, lest I might have killed them, turned away.     Ah, love! we too once gambolled home as they,         Home from the town with such fair merchandise, -         Wine and great grapes - the happy lover buys:     A little cosy feast to crown the day.     Yes! we had once a heaven we called a home         Its empty rooms still haunt me like thine eyes,     When the last sunset softly faded there;     Each day I tread each empty haunted room,             And now and then a little baby cries,         Or laughs a lovely laughter worse to bear.
