一首詩抄錄下來

 I heard from Colbert'slate night show.  Never heard the poet's name before.  Found a poem I really like.  

RobertHayden

Those winter Sundays

Sundays too my father got up early

and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold, 

then with cracked hands that ached 

from labor in the weekday weather made

banked fires blaze.  No one ever thanked him.  

I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.

When the rooms were warm, he'd call,

and slowly I would rise and dress,

fearing the chronic angers of that house.

Speaking indifferently 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 and lonely offices?
