When snowstorms howl like beasts at night, A raging growl unbroken, Never shut your door up tight, Let your door stand open. If you must journey far away Where hardship's bound to find you You should make sure you leave that day An open door behind you. Departing in the silent night, Not thinking of returning, Make sure your soul has left a light Among the pine logs burning. There should be warmth in every wall And comfort for the taking. A closed door does no good at all And padlocks aren't worth making. |
