When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
In a house alone, an old person sits silently as snow comes down. He/She can hear horse trot by on the cobblestone road outside his house, never stopping to say anything. The sound echoes through the person's ears, all through the night, as the lonely fire burns bright.
That's what I imagine.
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
