They’re all away

And the house is still,

And the dust lies thick

On the window sill,

And the stairway creaks

In a solemn tone

This taunting phrase:

“You are all alone.”

They’ve gone away

And the rooms are bare;

I miss his cap

From a parlor chair.

And I miss the toys

In the lonely hall,

But most of any

I miss his call.

I miss the shouts

And the laughter gay

Which greeted me

At the close of day,

And there isn’t a thing

In the house we own

But sobbingly says: “You are all alone.”

It’s only a house

That is mine to know,

An empty house

That is cold with woe;

Like a prison grim

With its bars of black,

And it won’t be home

Till they all come back
