Remember Last Winter

Remember
Last winter the day we
Went out away from towns
The country was still
There as in the Spring
But wry and ageing:
Yet
We comfort took from trees
And green that still
Remained resistant
To frosts and chills and
The ordeals of wintry nights.
Homely the hearth
Where the logs burn
The fires crackle
And
The smokes turn
As magic mists
Do
In the homely hearth
Towards the chimney top:
Homely the hearth was.
And now:
Remember
Last winter the day we
Went out away from towns
The country was still
There as in the Spring
But wry and ageing:
Yet
We comfort took from trees
That green that still
Remained resistant
To frosts and chills and
The ordeals of wintry nights.
