DECEMBER NIGHT

David Herbert Lawrence

TAKE off your cloak and your hat And your shoes, and draw up at my hearth Where never woman sat. I have made the fire up bright;

Let us leave the rest in the dark And sit by firelight. The wine is warm in the hearth; The flickers come and go.

I will warm your feet with kisses Until they glow.
