Seasonal verse found in Arthur Stringer's The Woman in the Rain and Other Poems (Boston: Little, Brown, 1907). The writer was then living in New York with wife Jobyna Howland, 650 kilometres southeast of the London, Ontario, of his youth.
No apologies for the pun. It's brilliant.

Beautiful...gem of a poem! I read it 3 times and my thoughts returned to my own childhood home....4000 km away!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it, Nancy.If Stringer is barely remembered as a novelist, he's entirely forgotten as a poet.
