The Open Window.
The old house by the lindens
Stood silent in the shade,
And on the gravelled pathway
The light and shadow played.
Stood silent in the shade,
And on the gravelled pathway
The light and shadow played.
I saw the nursery windows
Wide open to the air;
But the faces of the children,
They were no longer there.
Wide open to the air;
But the faces of the children,
They were no longer there.
