Sara Teasdale: A Winter Night

My window-pane is starred with frost,

The world is bitter cold to-night,

The moon is cruel and the wind

is like a two-edged sword to smite.


God pity all the homeless ones, 

The beggars pacing to and fro.

God pity all the poor to-night

who walk the lamp-lit streets of snow.


My room is like a bit of June,

Warm and close-curtained fold on fold,

But somewhere, like a homeless child,

My heart is crying in the cold.
