Where Truth Makes Its Home

It was so long ago,

   when I had first gazed upon the snow,

   and heard the western wind blow ----
  
   to sing again in some unknown tongue,

Tis in this time of old I feel so young;

   of these things so fresh

   and never spent,

   where truth makes its home


That the old sky is cold and gray,

   in the wetted eve of end day;

   the spindly fingers of trees
  
   jutted and naked do not pretend

   as if praying to wisdom do they lend ----


Spirits of night and snow,

   I am ancient in birth,

   where truth makes its home
