Those Winter Sundays
英语课
Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blue black cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor 1 in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze..no one ever thanked him.
I'dwake and hear the cold splintering ,breaking.
When the rooms were warm,he'd call,
and slowly i would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic 2 angers of that house
Speaking indifferemtly to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did i know, what did i know
of love's austere 3 and lonely offices?
