The hobby-horse is saddled,
And gives forth a hearty nigh,
But the rider does not heed it,
For he is far away.
He is dwelling with the angels,
And though I may be late,
I know he'll not forget me,
But be watching at the gate.
His toys are laid upon the shelf,
His clothes are put away.
The little rug is folded up,
On which he knelt to pray.
His empty chair is by the hearth,
As if expecting him,
And when I see that vacant chair
My eyes with tears are dim.
I listen, wait, and listen
For a voice that never calls,
For a step along the hallway.
But the footsteps never fall.
But this comfort I have always,
That, though I may be late,
I know he'll not forget me,
But he watching at the gate."
