Two at a Fireside

I built a chimney for a comrade old;
I did the service not for hope or hire:
And then I traveled on in winter’s cold,
Yet all the day I glowed before the fire.

~ Edwin Markham (1852-1940)

Poetry

She comes like the hush and beauty of the night
And sees too deep for laughter;
Her touch is a vibration and a light
From worlds before and after.

~ Edwin Markham (1852-1940)
