Snow...........*plz com*
written by Psychoace04:12 AM 2/15/05White are the far-off plains...
And white the fading forests grow,
The wind dies out along the height...
Denser still the snow,
A gathering weight on roof and tree
Falls down scarce audibly
The meadows and far-sheeted streams
Lie still without a sound,
Like some soft minister of dreams...
The snowfall hoods me around
In wood and water, earth and air
A silence is everywhere...
Save when it lowly spills
Some farmer's sleigh is urged on
With rustling runners and sharp bells
Swings by me and is gone
Or from the empty waste I hear
A sound remote and clear...
The barking of a dog,
To cattle is sharply pealed...
Borne echoing from some wayside stall
Or barnyard far afield
Then all is silent and the snow
Falls settling soft and slow...
The evening deepens and the gray
Folds closer earth and sky
The world seems shrouded so far away
Its noises sleep, and I...
As secret as yon buried stream
Plod dumbly on and dream
And dream... |
