Home ...
'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.
