First Line: There are no paths when the snow comes
Last Line: For a man come home again.
Subject(s): Home; Night; Snow; Wind; Bedtime
There are no paths when the snow comes,
No pavement when it goes,
Only a lane from a dark road
And a wood where the wind blows.
There are no lights -- only a lamp
Set at a window pane,
And a woman waiting to make a heaven
For a man come home again.
