The ONLOOKER

by HENRY HOWLAND

There’s a light la her window .tonight; I look at the gleam from afar; Perhaps she has gone there to write, There’s a light in her window tonight. And I gladly would guess, if I might. What her thoughts and her purposes jare. There’s a light in her window tonight, I look at' the gleam from afar. Perhaps she is saying a prayer. Or, reading some pleasing romance. She doubtles is all alone there; Perhaps she is saying a prayer; She may be removing her hair. Or unhooking her corset, perchance; Perhaps she is saying a prayer, Or reading some pleasing romance. From her window there streams a, bright ray, Such as warns the bold sailor at sea, I am filled with a sudden dismay, From her window there streams a bright ray. Perhaps she is filing away . Her foolish love letters from me! From her window there streams a bright ray, Such as warns the bold sailor at sea.
