In the Mist and Mountains
The icy frost bites my face
To force my collar up in haste.
With lamplight slowly drawing dim
I doubt that we will win this race.
I know the cabin’s on this trail
Beyond the snow and sleet and hail.
I think of fireplace and bed
And warm dreams that I could unveil.
My dog’s bark brings me to
And warns me we are somewhere new.
And I cry a single icy tear
For the road in front is split in two.
