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...NOT OURS THE VOWS by BERNARD BARTON ELEGY IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON THE CHINESE NIGHTINGALE; A SONG IN CHINESE TAPESTRIES by NICHOLAS VACHEL LINDSAY A LITTLE WHILE by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI CORSICA by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THISTLE-DOWN by CLARA DOTY BATES |
