THE FALLOW DEER AT THE LONELY HOUSE

Thomas Hardy

One without looks in to-night Through the curtain-chink From the sheet of glistening white; One without looks in to-night

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 Wondering, aglow, Fourfooted, tiptoe.
