WAYFARERS

By Gilbert Parker

War does the fire no longer burn?

( I am so lonely )

Why does the tent-door swing outward?

( I have no home )

Oh, let me breathe hard in your face!

( I am so lonely )

Oh, why do you shut your eyes to me?

( I have no home )

Let us make friends with the stars;

( I am so lonely )

Give me your hand, I will hold it;

( I have no home )

Let us go hunting together:

( I am so lonely )

We will sleep at God's camp to-night.

( I have no home )
