1
What will the birds do, Mother, in the spring
2
When they stop to gather crumbs around the door?
3
Will they fly from the trees half as nice with glee
4
Askin' why Joe wanders out no more?
5
What will the kitten do, Mother, all alone
6
Will he stop from his frolic for the day?
7
Will he lie on his rug by the side of my bed
8
As he did before I went away?
9
What will Thomas, that old gardener, say
10
When you ask him for flowers for me?
11
Will he give you a rose he has tended with care
12
The first, fairest bloom of the tree?
13
I have seen the tears in his honest, old eyes
14
But he said it was the wind that brought them there
15
As he gazed on my cheeks growin' paler each day
16
And his hand went tremblin' through my hair
17
Keep tied, Mother, my poor little dog
18
For I know he will mourn for me too
19
Just keep him when old and useless he grows
20
Sleepin' the whole summer through
21
Show him my coat, Mother, so he'll not forget
22
His master who then will be dead
23
Just speak to him kindly and often of Joe
24
And pat him on his brown, shaggy head
25
And you, dearest Mother, may miss me for a while
26
But in Heaven I'll no larger grow
27
And any kind angel will know at the gate
28
When you ask for your darlin' little Joe
