So cold upon a winter's day
In icy winds the trees would sway
And all around the snow there lay -
So cold upon a winter's day
I felt the chill upon my face
The mist did all the hills embrace
With frosted trees as fine-spun lace -
I felt the chill upon my face
And snowflakes melting on my hand
Beneath my feet the frozen land
White crystals speckling the sand -
Like snowflakes melting on my hand
With raindrops falling from the sky
The birds to warmer regions fly
You left me here, alone, to sigh -
With raindrops falling from the sky
O why then did you say goodbye …..
A magnificent write about the winter and the snow: ! Brings the very nature close to our heart. For one who has not experienced the snow the portrayal is very vivid. I loved it. The poem in itself sounds very musical. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.!
Snow makes even the roughest landscape look flawless for a while, then it's just a load of dirty slush! Illusory layers to this poem! Love it!
