WINTER ROADS, by THOMAS MCGRATH Poet's Biography First Line: In the spring thaw Last Line: Looking for winter Subject(s): Autumn; Roads; Seasons; Spring; Winter; Fall; Paths; Trails | ||||||||
In the spring thaw The winter roads over the cold fields Disappear In front of the last sled. All summer they sleep Hidden and forgot Under the green sea of the wheat. Now, in autumn, They rise Suddenly Out of the golden stubble. They arch their backs in the sun And move slow and crooked across the fields Looking for winter.
