James Whitcomb Riley - When She Comes HomeJames Whitcomb Riley - When She Comes Home
Work rating: Low


When she comes home again! A thousand ways   I fashion, to myself, the tenderness   Of my glad welcome: I shall tremble--yes; And touch her, as when first in the old days I touched her girlish hand, nor dared upraise   Mine eyes, such was my faint heart`s sweet distress.   Then silence: And the perfume of her dress: The room will sway a little, and a haze   Cloy eyesight--soulsight, even--for a space: And tears--yes; and the ache here in the throat,   To know that I so ill deserve the place Her arms make for me; and the sobbing note   I stay with kisses, ere the tearful face   Again is hidden in the old embrace.
