Father what can he be
but a sailmaker
braving the winds
on the high seas
What can he be
but a glass blower
of birds on lighted wings
come home to sleep
Father a family ghost
knocking to get in
What can he be
but a face in the window
a hand on the door
a step melting the snow
under the trees
Alternate title: Farther in Winter

— The End —
