IN THE DEEP WHITE SNOW, by ANNE ATWOOD First Line: They heard my footsteps faint and low Last Line: By the slim white trees. Subject(s): Snow | ||||||||
They heard my footsteps faint and low, And three deer wheeled in the forest breeze, In the deep white snow By the slim, white trees. They stood like nymphs on a Grecian frieze. Or like three lilies in a row By the slim white trees In the deep white snow, With the eyes of the Child born long ago -- And I, a sinner, fell on my knees In the deep white snow, By the slim white trees. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRIGHT SUN AFTER HEAVY SNOW by JANE KENYON SNOW FALLING THROUGH FOG by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THE SNOW FAIRY by CLAUDE MCKAY NOT ONLY ESKIMOS by LISEL MUELLER THE LITTLE BOY LOST, FR.
