Wind And

Window Flower

By Robert Frost

The
Poem

Stanza 1
LOVERS, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.

Stanza 2
When the frosty window veil
Was melted down at noon,
And the caged yellow bird
Hung over her in tune,

Stanza 3
He marked her through the pane,
He could not help but mark,
And only passed her by,
To come again at dark.

Stanza 4
He was a winter wind,
Concerned with ice and snow,
Dead weeds and unmated birds,
And little of love could know.

Stanza 5
But he sighed upon the sill,
He gave the sash a shake,
As witness all within
Who lay that night awake.

Stanza 6
Perchance he half prevailed
To win her for the flight
From the firelit looking-glass
And warm stove-window light.

Stanza 7
But the flower leaned aside
And thought of naught to say,
And morning found the breeze
A hundred miles away.
