By The Hearth-Stone Poem by Sir Henry Newbolt

By The Hearth-Stone

Rating: ★2.8


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.
