WIND and rain and lightest snow All across her window go, Breathe and tap and touch the pane With the gentleness of rain, Touch and glide and lightly blow With the gentleness of snow. All the drops, enchanted, pass Slanted on her window-glass. Wondrous light must fall the rain So to touch her window-pane; For she will not stir at all As the drops most lightly fall. Now the sound of faery horn Shrilling in the woods away Cannot move her, though it warn Through the darkly waning day, Though it bid her watch the snow Ere to rain it turn and go. Ticking in the shadowed eaves, Falling dark on fallen leaves, Wind and rain and lightest snow Far beyond her window go, Storms may pass and lightning flare, Still she sits unheeding there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BOLT FROM THE BLUE by GREGORY ORR THE YOUNG MYSTIC by LOUIS UNTERMEYER POSTSCRIPT; TO MAXIME KUMIN by ELEANOR WILNER THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#13): 2.
