Poems (Sharpless)/I'm Watching

by Frances M. Sharpless

I'M WATCHING
(SONG) Air—"Joys That We've Tasted."

I am watching for thee, love, Watching for thee,With a smile on my lips And a tear in my 'ee.For I'm smiling to think on The days of my joy,So rich in life's gladness, So little to cloy—

And my love is so earnest Its deep tones are low;Like the cadence in music— Soft, solemn and slow.And the tears that are swelling Are love's dews for thee,So I'm smiling while waiting With tears in my 'ee.
