Cold, Lonely, Desolate Night
Looming, inescapably all around,
Enough to make one's heart sink,
Once and for all,
Enough to douse the surest, brightest light.
A mangy stray cat suddenly emerges from the
Gloom, walks up to one, meows piteously:
Company!
On such a night as this: Company as
Welcome as any wise teacher's, any noble leader's,
Any loving familiar face's.
