In Tenebris  by Ford Madox Ford   All within is warm,    Here without it's very cold,    Now the year is grown so old And the dead leaves swarm. In your heart is light,    Here without it's very dark,    When shall I hear the lark? When see aright? Oh, for a moment's space!    Draw the clinging curtains wide    Whilst I wait and yearn outside Let the light fall on my face. Today's poem is in the public domain. Poetry by Ford Selected Poems December 28, 2012 Born in 1873, Ford Madox Ford was a prominent English novelist and editor who--with Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and Ernest Hemingway, among others--was a member of the cohort that made up the "Lost Generation."
