Far Away Poem by George Vee

The house is lonely and I miss you
The bed is empty and I miss you
The cup is less full and I miss you
Come back to me my love!

When you are gone, my heart is less full
When you are gone, the birds chirp less joyful it seems
When you are gone, the days stretch out a little longer
Come back soon to me, my love!

I don't see you, but for a day, yet I hear you
I don't see you, but for a week, the shadows darken the day
I don't see you but for a while, and I miss you
Come back soonest to me, my love

But the ship has sailed, I hear
Oh joy and I await, In earnest for your homecoming
Go fast, swiftly day and night
Bring to me on wings the nearest dawn
when I shall see you again

Come back to me soonest, my love!
