Thief In the Night
The world fell down beneath her feet.
A falsehood told
No man to meet
She stood on sorrow’s barren land,
And clasped the letter in her hand
No surprise he called so late.
She had hastened to her fate.
Those maddening eyes had told her so.
I’ll love you in the depths of snow
He had plundered there beneath her sheet
And found the wreckage so complete
None to take, but for himself,
He had found someone else.
