By The Hearth-Stone

Topics: classic

By the hearth-stone     She sits alone,         The long night bearing:     With eyes that gleam     Into the dream         Of the firelight staring.     Low and more low     The dying glow         Burns in the embers;     She nothing heeds     And nothing needs---         Only remembers.
