May I Come Home?The nights so long and lone, And my aching heart aweary Of this life-tide's dismal moan. My soul is sick with waiting And my brain with grief is dumb. Oh why this hesitating? Dear Love, may ! come home ? The heart left to its ravage Too oft finds weaker woes. Half sacred and half savage The stronger feature grows. Leave wild beasts on the mountain In solitude to roam, I thirst for joy's deep fountain, For you and love and home. The silent lonely river, Finds solace in the sea, But my love lives on forever Unto Eternity. Aye wide indeed the ocean, And deep as heaven's dome To calm my hearts devotion ' Dear Love, may I come home ? __Colfax Burgoyne Harman |
