Horn - Landscapes On Hold Ii lyrics

rate me

<div class="showResultLinks">Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast<br />

In a field I looked into going past, <br />

And the ground almost covered smooth in snow, <br />

But a few weeds and stubble showing last.<br />

<br />

The woods around it have it--it is theirs.<br />

All animals are smothered in their lairs.<br />

I am too absent-spirited to count:<br />

The loneliness includes me unawares.<br />

<br />

And lonely as it is that loneliness<br />

Will be more lonely ere it will be less<br />

A blanker whiteness of benighted snow<br />

With no expression, nothing to express.<br />

<br />

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces<br />

Between stars--on stars where no human race is.<br />

I have it in me so much nearer home<br />

To scare myself with my own desert places.</
