The Heart on the Highroad

J. K. Wetherill

AWAY from light and shelter, warmth and peace,

How many and many a night of wind and rain

My anxious heart its wanderings could not cease,

Leading you home amid the tempest’s strain.

Long, long you have been safe from stormy skies,

Long, long in shelter from the winter’s chill;

But still the night wind shakes me with its cries,

And on my heart the icy rain falls still.
