A half-hour more and you will lean <br />To gather me close in the old sweet way-- <br />But oh, to the woman over the sea <br />Who will come at the close of day? <br /> <br />A half-hour more and I will hear <br />The key in the latch and the strong quick tread-- <br />But oh, the woman over the sea <br />Waiting at dusk for one who is dead!<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dusk-in-war-time-2/
