Living

Somewhere

by John Vance Cheney 1848–1922

From The Little Book of Modern Verse (1913)

Living

The weasel thieves in silver suit,
The rabbit runs in gray;
And Pan takes up his frosty flute
To pipe the cold away.

The flocks are folded, boughs are bare,
The salmon take the sea;
And O my fair, would I somewhere
Might house my heart with thee!
