Liva - Desert Places lyrics

Snow falling and night falling fast, oh fast In a field I looked into going past And the ground almost covered smooth in snow But a few weeds and stubble showing last A blanker whiteness of benighted snow With no expression, nothing to express They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars, where no human race is I have it in me much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places The woods around it have it, it is theirs All animals are smothered in their lairs I am too absent-spirited to count The loneliness includes me unawares And lonely as it is that loneliness Will be more lonely ere it will be less.
