FROST by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: I LEFT MY WINDOW WIDE FOR LOVE
Last Line: BEFORE THE DAWN WAS DEAD.
Subject(s): FROST; LOVE;
I left my window wide for love
To enter while I slept;
The moon, his homeward path above,
Her midnight vigil kept.

But suddenly, as o'er a glass.
A clouding vapor spread;
The heavens were cold; and love, alas!
Before the dawn was dead.
