The Fallow Deer at the Lonely House
by
Thomas Hardy

One without looks in tonight
Through the curtain-chink
From the sheet of glistening white;
One without looks in tonight
As we sit and think
By the fender-brink.

We do not discern those eyes
Watching in the snow;
Lit by lamps of rosy dyes
We do not discern those eyes
Wondering, aglow,
Fourfooted, tiptoe.

I'm very enthusiastic about this video which was devised by Myriliam of Austria. "Winter" is performed by Qntal, a German group who describe their style as “electro-medieval.” The singer is Syra and the words are old German.
