Days of absence, sad and dreary,
Clothed in sorrow's dark array,—
Days of absence, I am weary:
She I love is far away.
--
Day of Absence, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).Jean-Jacques Rousseau

When I came back to Dublin, I was courtmartialled in my absence and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.
Brendan Behan
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Nothing reopens the springs of love so fully as absence, and no absence so thoroughly as that which must needs be endless.
Anthony Trollope
I praise Thee while my days go on;
I love Thee while my days go on:
Through dark and dearth, through fire and frost,
With emptied arms and treasure lost,
I thank Thee while my days go on.Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
No matter, 't will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road:—
Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!Stephen Foster
