HOME AGAIN

A memory from childhood days

Of cold and wint’ry blasts,

Keeps coming clearly back to me

And seems to last and last.


I hear the wind there howling

Around the house outside.

I want to pull the covers up

And get beneath and hide.


I seem to feel the house could shake

As wint’ry winds do whip.

A little deeper underneath

The covers I do slip.


I hear the snow there blowing

Against the window pane.

I close my eyes so very tight.

I’m home again in Maine.
