What did I know of love's austere and lonely offices?

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?

-- from the poem 'Those Winter Sundays' by Robert Hayden
-- beautifully expresses a sons regret at not thanking his dad enough!
