I shall have winter now and lessening days, Lit by a smoky sun with slanting rays, And after falling leaves, the first determined frost. The colors of the world will all be lost. So be it; the faint buzzing of the snow Will fill the empty boughs, And after sleet storms I shall wake to see A glittering glassy plume of every tree. Nothing shall tempt me from my fire-lit house. And I shall find at night a friendly ember And make my life of what I can remember. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOOD-BYE DOROTHY GAYLE: THE ROAD TO BUFFALO by KAREN SWENSON HOLY POEMS: 3 by GEORGE BARKER LESSER EPISTLES: TO A LADY ON HER PASSION FOR OLD CHINA by JOHN GAY GREAT BELL ROLAND; SUGGESTED BY PRESIDENT'S CALL VOLUNTEERS by THEODORE TILTON ANIMAL TRANQUILITY AND DECAY; A SKETCH by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH LIGHTS THROUGH THE MIST by WILLIAM ROSE BENET |
