“Nature is sleeping out in the gloom...”
Nature is sleeping out in the gloom,
Shadows are creeping inside my room.
Logs all aglow in the fireplace there,
Lonely I'm dreaming in old arm chair.
Beside an open fireplace I sit and dream of you,
In every flame I see the face,
That time and space will not erase.
And when the cooling embers die,
Just as your love died too,
There's nothing in my fireplace.
But broken dreams of you.
Darkness is falling,
Stars light the sky,
Night birds are calling,
Night breezes sigh.- Informant
