Katharine Tynan - His Footstep
Work rating: Low

To Lady Wemyss

The boy will come no more
     Although I listen and long;
The sound of his foot on the floor
     Was like an old song.

His foot had the music in it,
     And now the music`s dumb --
Like the song of the lark or linnet
     Glad that Spring`s come.

There`s nothing stirring at all, --
     `Tis quiet all by yourself, --
But a wee mouse in the wall,
     The clock ticks on the shelf.

Like the song of the lark or linnet,
     That`s singing early and soon,
His foot had the music in it
     Like an old tune.
