A Winter Night's Companion
A book's a friend come winter's merciless frost
Outside, the teeth of Summer's scarecrows chatter
Reading days by lazy streams and willows lost
To brutal snows and howling nights they've scattered
A book's companionship's bought with little cost
The pittance spent per hundred page no matter
For deep within each line of buried treasure
Each sacred winter's night becomes a pleasure
