First Line: Across the bitter frost and snow
Last Line: Time leaves in his hungry flight.
Subject(s): Winter
ACROSS the bitter frost and snow
Of this dead and barren time
The sun bursts warm and bright, as though
He dreamt of his summer prime.
Across a chasm wide and black
As the yawning cave of night
The touch of a bygone time comes back
To fill my soul with light;
Ah, God! for the desolated track
Time leaves in his hungry flight.
