First Snow, 9 February 1'53 WOOLNER, to-night it snows for the first time. Our feet know well the path where in this snow Mine leave one track: how all the ways we know Are hoary in the long-unwonted rime! Grey as their ghosts which now in your new clime Must haunt you while those singing spirits reap All night the field of hospitable sleep-- Whose song, past the whole sea, finds counter-chime. Can the year change, and I not think of thee, With whom so many changes of the year So many years were watched--our love's degree Alone the same? Ah still for thee and me, Winter or summer, Woolner, here or there, One grief, one joy, one loss, one victory. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEAF AND DUMB; A GROUP BY WOOLNER by ROBERT BROWNING THE P.R.B.: 1 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI TO THE P.R.B. by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI FOUND' (FOR A PICTURE) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI A LITTLE WHILE by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI A SEA-SPELL (FOR A PICTURE) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI A TRIP TO PARIS AND BELGIUM: 16.
