1918 vintage postcard. Wartime postcard about missing your love. Lyrics from a popular song during WW1 called "Absent" are quoted beneath the romantic image of a lady peering wistfully out her window. Fitting that a card about missing a loved one would be made during this time.
ABSENT
Sometimes between long shadows on the grass,
The little truant rays of sunshine pass,
My eyes grow dim with tenderness the while,
Thinking I see thee, Thinking I see thee smile!
And sometimes, in the twilight gloom, apart,
The tall trees whisper, whisper heart to heart.
From my fond lips, the eager answer fall,
Thinking I hear thee, Thinking I hear thee call!
