SOUNDS OF THE WINTER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sounds of the winter too
Last Line: Forth from these snowy hairs we keep up yet the lilt.
Subject(s): Winter


Sounds of the winter too,
Sunshine upon the mountains -- many a distant strain
From cheery railroad train -- from nearer field, barn, house,
The whispering air -- even the mute crops, garner'd apples, corn,
Children's and women's tones -- rhythm of many a farmer and of flail,
An old man's garrulous lips among the rest, Think not we give out yet,
Forth from these snowy hairs we keep up yet the lilt.
