A Winter's Sight
A Winter's Sight
As I hurry down winter's dark and snowy Lane
I see in the dim light
A lady’s smile through the window pane
Who is she? Does the world know her? Will she care?
Should I pause and watch a while; do I dare?
Does she love and need and race men's hearts?
Is this a place for casual remarks?
Cold winds tug at my coat
Why do I feel a glow; Should I leave a note
I walk on; Stop; Her smile burns in my head
A picture of grace; her hair casts a glow of amber red
A million thoughts, but only one sight
A dark night made gentle by a lovely lady's light.
