by Henry Newbolt, Sir (1862 - 1938)
By the hearthstone
Language: English
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.
