Woman At The Window Dreaming

 

...celebrating the art of Harold Knight, RA, English portrait, genre and landscape painter, 1874 - 1961 during March, Women's History Month

 

 By The Window

 

Woman at the window dreaming
of the life that might have been
had the orchard fruit not soured
prospects of a zestful scene

Woman the horizon searching
for a saviour, brave and true,
to carry her beyond the threshold
of a thither's fairer view

Woman by the window weaving
vistas bright with pliant thread,
fabric of an ordered household,
leaven of the nation's bread
