JES' a-wearyin' for you — All the time a-feelin' blue; Wishin' for you — wonderin' when You'll be comin' home agen. Restless — don't know what to do. Jes' a-wearyin' for you. Room's so lonesome with your chair Empty by the fireplace there; Jes' can't stand the sight of it! Go outdoors and roam a bit; But the woods is lonesome, too — Jes' a-wearyin' for you! Comes the wind, with soft caress, Like the rustlin' of your dress; Blossoms fallin' to the ground Softly, like your footsteps sound; Violets like your eyes so blue — Jes' a-wearyin' for you! Mornin' comes; the birds awake; Use' to sing so for your sake! But there's sadness in the notes That come trillin' from their throats; Seems to feel your absence, too — Jes' a-wearyin' for you! Evenin' comes; I miss you more When the dark glooms in the door; Seems jes' like you orter be There to open it for me! Latch goes tinklin'; thrills me through, Sets me wearyin' for you! Jes' a-wearyin' for you — All the time a-feelin' blue; Wishin' for you — wonderin' when You'll be comin' home agen. Restless — don't know what to do — Jes' a-wearyin' for you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BOTANICAL GARDENS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS IN THE BERKSHIRE HILLS by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE SHIP OF RIO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FOR THE BAPTIST by WILLIAM DRUMMOND OF HAWTHORNDEN THE CLIFF SWALLOWS by DEBRA NYSTROM THE LAST INVOCATION by WALT WHITMAN THE HAPPY WANDERER by PERCY ADDLESHAW SOIS SAGE O MA DOULEUR by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE IN MEMORIAM A.M.W.; SEPTEMBER, 1910 (FOR A SOLEMN MUSIC) by GORDON BOTTOMLEY |
