Analysis of Christmas in Prison
Frederick William (FW) Harvey 1888 (Hartpury, Gloucestershire) – 1957 (Yorkley, Gloucestershire)
Outside, white snow
And freezing mire.
The heart of the house
Is a blazing fire !
Even so whatever hags do ride
His outward fortune, withinside
The heart of a man burns Christmastide !
