White Snow (Christmas in April)

User Rating:

9.0 /10
(2 votes)



  Not so many years ago,
We waited long and hard,
And all December,
The road were glazed with ice,
But never the field,
Covered with soft snow,
And on Christmas day,
Freezing as it was,
The ground still brown and green,
And no white Christmas,
And so Christmas passed,
And the year went on,
Until one freezing april morning,
The April showers,
Turned to sleet,
Which turned to snow,
And Christmas a long white,
Christmas,
Happened in April.

a great poem
so well expressed
language clear and precise
describing the miracle
the pure grace
of time
turned about
at last
and a happy ending
to desire
finally
with snow creating joy and goodwill
even in April
