Appearance
Comfort.
The sound of the wind, and of falling rainBeating against the window-pane,A clean-swept hearth and the fire’s glow,The sound of the tea-kettle humming low,The cat asleep in the rocking-chair,Warmth and comfort everywhere,And a neighbor in for a dish of tea—Ah, that ’s the kind of a day for me!
