  Illustrated R Rainy and rough sets the day,— There's a heart beating for somebody; I must be up and away,— Somebody's anxious for somebody. Thrice hath she been to the gate, Thrice hath she listened for somebody. Midst the night, stormy and late, Somebody's waiting for somebody. woman putting lit candle on table next to old seated woman while holding curtain There'll be a comforting fire, There'll be a welcome for somebody; One, in her neatest attire, Will look at the table for somebody. Though the stars fled from the west, There is a star yet for somebody, Lighting the home he loves best, Warming the bosom of somebody. There'll be a coat o'er the chair, There will be slippers for somebody; There'll be a wife's tender care,— Love's fond embracement for somebody; There'll be the little one's charms,— Soon 't will be wakened for somebody. When I have both in my arms, Oh! but how blest will be somebody. decoration |
