by Thomas Samuel Jones, Jr. (1882 - 1932)
Alone I weave a fancy in the glow
Language: English
Alone I weave a fancy in the glow, While all the world outside is white with snow And cheerless. But to me, Musing before this fire and drowsily Supposing that your head rests on my knee, -- Seeing the while your great eyes dim-descried, -- Heav'n could not be fairer than that snowy world outside.
