EACH day when the glow of sunset Fades in the western sky , And the wee ones , tired of playing , Go tripping lightly by , I steal away from my husband , Asleep in his easy-chair , And watch from the open doorway Their faces fresh and fair .

Alone in the dear old . homestead That once was full of life , Ringing with girlish laughter , Echoing boyish strife , We two are waiting together ; And oft , as the shadows come , With tremulous voice he calls me , "It is ni ght ! are the children home ?"

" Yes , love , " I answer him gently , " They ' re all home long ago ;" And I sing , in my quivering treble , A song so soft and low , Till he drops to dreamy slumber , With his head upon his hand , And I tell to myself the number Home in the better land .

Home where never a sorrow Shall dim their eyes with tears 1 Where the smile of God is on them Through all the summer years ! Sometimes , in the dusk of evening , I only shut my eyes , And the children are all about me , A vision from the skies .

A breath , and the vision is lifted Away on wings of light , And again we two are together , And alone in the night . They tell me his mind is failing , But I smile at idle fears ; He is only back with the children , In the dear and peaceful years .
