Jes' a-smokin', An' a-dreamin', An' a-thinkin' of you dear; Jes' a-longin', An' a-wond'rin', An' a-wishin' you were here. Jes' a-watchin' Lonesome shadders Cross the empty hearthstones fall; Jes' a-smokin', An' a-dreamin', An' a-lovin' you—that's all! Jes' a-smokin', An' a-dreamin'— Vapor curlin' in the air; Jes' a-hopin', An' a-grievin', An' a-wond'rin' if you care. Jes' a-watchin' Twilight fadin' Night a-fallin' from the blue; Jes' a-smokin', An' a-dreamin', Prayin' you're a-lovin' too! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA |
