SUMMER joys are o'er; Flowerets bloom no more, Wintry winds are sweeping; Through the snow-drifts peeping, Cheerful evergreen Rarely now is seen. Now no plumed throng Charms the wood with song; Ice-bound trees are glittering; Merry snow-birds, twittering, Fondly strive to cheer Scenes so cold and drear. Winter, still I see Many charms in thee, -- Love thy chilly greeting, Snow-storms fiercely beating. And the dear delights Of the long, long nights. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LEADY'S TOWER by WILLIAM BARNES CHERRY TREE IN AUTUMN by MARIE DAVIES WARREN BECKNER THE UNPARDONABLE SIN by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE BOOK OF GOD by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR AUTUMN COMMUNION by GLADYS CROMWELL IMOGEN by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
