In Those Days In those days-they were long ago- The snow was cold, the night was black. I licked from my cracked lips A snowflake, as I looked back Through branches, the last uneasy snow. Your shadow, there in the light, was still. In a little the light went out. I went on, stumbling, till at last the hill Hid the house. And, yawning, In bed in my room, alone, I would look out: over the quilted Rooftops, the clear stars shone. How poor and miserable we were, How seldom together! And yet after so long one drinks: In those days everything was better.

The rain was unprecedented
