Solitude Lyrics by Arthur Shepherd

0

When you have tidied all things for the night
And while your thoughts are fading to their sleep
You'll pause a moment in the late firelight
Too sorrowful to weep

The large and gentle furniture has stood
In sympathetic silence all the day
With that old kindness of domestic wood;
Nevertheless the haunted room will say:
"Someone must be away."

The little dog rolls over half awake
Stretches his paws, yawns, looking up at you
Wags his tail very slightly for your sake
That you may feel he is unhappy too

A distant enginе whistles, or the floor
Creaks, or thе wandering night-wind bangs a door

Silence is scattered like a broken glass
The minutes prick their ears and run about
Then one by one subside again and pass
Sedately in, monotonously out

You bend your head and wipe away a tear
Solitude walks one heavy step more near
