Robert Frost - Wind And Window FlowerRobert Frost - Wind And Window Flower
Work rating: Medium


Lovers, forget your love,     And list to the love of these,     She a window flower,     And he a winter breeze.     When the frosty window veil     Was melted down at noon,     And the cagèd yellow bird     Hung over her in tune,     He marked her through the pane,     He could not help but mark,     And only passed her by,     To come again at dark.     He was a winter wind,     Concerned with ice and snow,     Dead weeds and unmated birds,     And little of love could know.     But he sighed upon the sill,     He gave the sash a shake,     As witness all within     Who lay that night awake.     Perchance he half prevailed     To win her for the flight     From the firelit looking-glass     And warm stove-window light.     But the flower leaned aside     And thought of naught to say,     And morning found the breeze     A hundred miles away.
