One without looks in tonight
Through the curtain-*****
From the sheet of glistening white;
One without looks in tonight
As we sit and think
By the fender-brink.We do not discern those eyes
Watching in the snow;
Lit by lamps of rosy dyes
We do not discern those eyes
Wandering, aglow
Four-footed, tiptoe.
