First Line: Supper comes at five o'clock,
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Time; Longing
Supper comes at five o'clock,
At six, the evening star,
My lover comes at eight o'clock
But eight o'clock is far.
How could I bear my pain all day
Unless I watched to see
The clock-hands laboring to bring
Eight o'clock to me.
