The high wind's whining through the leafless trees
   The sheets are crumpled and wet
The cotton doll clutched in a firm small hand
   Can't stop the misery. Yet
There's a woman's soft arms in the fearful night
   Embryonic delight to cry in.

The balmy air is whispering of promise
    The sheets are pleasant and clean
No thoughts of  morning now time has congealed
   In present's unchangeable sheen
And a woman's soft arms in the cool dark night
   Form the perfect oasis to lie in.

A branch creaks hoarsely, blown against the pane
   The sheets are clammy and hot
Deserted corridors surround the final bed
   They echo the longing you've got
For a woman's soft arms in the stifling night
   To grant you the quiet to die in.
