Husiness over, hands are tired;
Homeward wend the toiler's feet.
Oli! how sweet is home's seclusion
From the dusty, noisy street.
Sum? one's watchinir tit the window
For her love?'tis always so.
Take and fold her to your bosom,
As you did once long aeo.
See w hat loving hands have furnished
For yohr comfort while away: I
L"f 4ite.l;iU>r oi'her life is I

Take those wearv handsaud kiss tliciu:
You once loved to. long ago.
Has she fallen 'neatli the burden
She has home for you and yours;
Home so cheerfully and kindly.
Through the past's longdn arv hours?
Wonder what you'd do without her?
Pray that you ma* never know.
Lean above her couch and kiss her
Like you used to, long ago.

Has -oni'e friend proved false and
heartless
That -he thougut was good ami true?
Love ties broken cause the heartache.

Draw her to your side and listen

Then just tell her that you love her
" - As vou did onto long ago.
