The winter eve is clear and chill

The winter eve is clear and chill: 
the world of air is folded still; 
the quiet hour expects the moon; 
and yon my home awaits me soon 
behind the panes that come and go 
with dusk and firelight wavering low: 
and I must bid the prompting cease 
that bids me, in this charmed peace, 
? as tho' the hour would last my will ? 
follow the roads and follow still 
the dream that holds my heart in trance 
and lures it to the fabled chance 
to find, beyond these evening ways, 
the morning and the woodland days 
and meadows clear with gold, and you 
as once, ere I might dare to woo.
