Dusk in War Time (Rivers to the Sea)

From Free media library

<Rivers to the Sea (Collection)

A HALF-HOUR more and you will lean
      To gather me close in the old sweet way--
But oh, to the woman over the sea
      Who will come at the close of day?

A half-hour more and I will hear
      The key in the latch and the strong quick tread--
But oh, the woman over the sea
      Waiting at dusk for one who is dead!
