In Tenebris by Ford Madox Ford | Poets.org

All within is warm,

Here without it’s very cold,

Now the year is grown so old

And the dead leaves swarm.

In your heart is light,

Here without it’s very dark,

When shall I hear the lark?

When see aright?

Oh, for a moment’s space!

Draw the clinging curtains wide

Whilst I wait and yearn outside

Let the light fall on my face.
