It's over now; the blow has fell at last; / It seems as though the sun can't shine no more, / And nothing looks the way it did before; / The glad thoughts that I used to think are past. / Her desk's shut up to-day, the lid's locked fast; / The keys where she typewrote are still; her chair / Looks sad and lonesome standin' empty there -- / I'd like to let the tears come if I dast.
This morning when the boss come in he found / A letter that he'd got from her, and so / He read it over twice and turned around / And said: "The little fool's got married!" Oh, / It seemed as if I'd sink down through the ground, / And never peep no more -- I didn't, though.
