The Window On The Hill

Topics: classic

Among the fields the camomile     Seems blown mist in the lightning's glare:     Cool, rainy odors drench the air;     Night speaks above; the angry smile     Of storm within her stare.     The way that I shall take to-night     Is through the wood whose branches fill     The road with double darkness, till,     Between the boughs, a window's light     Shines out upon the hill.     The fence; and then the path that goes     Around a trailer-tangled rock,     Through puckered pink and hollyhock,     Unto a latch-gate's unkempt rose,     And door whereat I knock.     Bright on the oldtime flower place     The lamp streams through the foggy pane;     The door is opened to the rain:     And in the door - her happy face     And outstretched arms again.
