NOT COMING.
They can't come home for Christmas
and mother sighs and stands
Arid looks out of the window, their
letters in her hands,
And tries to hide her fedin's, and I
well h?re I've set
A-lookin' at the paper, an' haven't
read it yet. - *
The headlines s.nd the items is jumbled
every way
"Theycan't come home for Christmas"
is all they seem to say.
I know whet mother's thinkin'; she's
lookin'* down the lane,"
And mindin' how she'd counted to go
to meet the train
I'd polished up thc sleighbells unti
they looked like gold,
And seemed as; full of jingles as any
beHs could hold.
And we'd a' gone in early, ?ind they'd
a' tumbled down
And laughed an' waved their "hellos"
to all they knew in town.
The sky is gray and gloomy; the house
is dark and still; tfmSL[
The cedar trees is lonesome where they
stand on the hill- v "
And we'd picked out the best one, the
. f one we knew would be
The very finest cedar to ma?e a Christ
mas tree.
The clock here on the mantel is tickin'
sad and low.
"They can't come home for Christmas.
They're not a-com?V. No!"
And mother at the window looks out
and down the lane,,
?nd I stare at my paper-but stare
at it in vain.
For all the type is tangled ard all the
letters blurred
In one unendin' sentence, repeatin'
word for word
The only news the world holds today
for her and me:*
"They can't come home for Christmas"
is all that I can see.
