Do they miss me at home-do they miss me
At morning, at noon or at night?
And lingers one gloomy shade round them
That only my presence can light ?
Are joys less invitingly welcome
And pleasures less hate than before,
Because one is missed from the circle-
Because l am with them no more ?
Because I am, with them no more ?

ELLA RICHARDS.
