JEST a-wearyin' fer you <br />All the time a-feelin' blue; <br />Wishin' fer you wonderin' when <br />You'll be comin' home again ; <br />Restless don't know what to do <br />Jest a-wearyin' fer you I <br /> <br />Keep a-mopin' day by day : <br />Dull in everybody's way; <br />Folks they smile an' pass along <br />Wonderin' what on earth is wrong; <br />'Twouldn't help 'em if they knew <br />Jest a-wearyin' fer you. <br /> <br />Room's so lonesome, with your chair <br />Empty by the fireplace there, <br />Jest can't stand the sight o' it! <br />Go outdoors an' roam a bit: <br />But the woods is lonesome, too, <br />Jest a-wearyin' fer you. <br /> <br />Comes the wind with sounds that' jes <br />Like the rustlin' o' your dress ; <br />An' the dew on flower an' tree <br />Tinkles like your step to me! <br />Violets, like your eyes so blue <br />Jest a-wearyin' fer you ! <br /> <br />Mornin' comes, the birds awake <br />(Them that sung so fer your sake!), <br />But there's sadness in the notes <br />That come thrillin' from their throats! <br />Seem to feel your absence, too <br />Jest a-wearyin' fer you. <br /> <br />Evenin' comes: I miss you more <br />When the dark glooms in the door ; <br />'Pears jest like you orter be <br />There to open it fer me! <br />Latch goes tinklin' thrills me through, <br />Sets me wearyin' fer you! <br /> <br />Jest a-wearyin' fer you <br />All the time a-f eelin' blue ! <br />Wishin' fer you wonderin' when <br />You'll be comin' home again; <br />Restless don't know 'what to do <br />Jest a-wearyin' fer you!<br /><br />Frank Lebby Stanton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jest-a-wearyin-fer-you/
