BIRDS AT WINTER NIGHTFALL

Thomas Hardy

Around the house the flakes fly faster, And all the berries now are gone From holly and cotoneaster Around the house. The flakes fly!— faster

Shutting indoors that crumb-outcaster We used to see upon the lawn Around the house. The flakes fly faster, And all the berries now are gone!
