FROST, by JOHN FREEMAN Poet's Biography

Subject(s): Frost; Snow
First Line: Snow lengthens out the wintry light
Last Line: In frozen foam of light.
Subject(s): Frost; Snow
SNOW lengthens out the wintry light
Of early-shuttered day,
And Frost, soft-footed, sly, white-haired,
That Witch, her bitter fire
Shakes down till the astonished sight
Deems it the spray
Tossed by the Stars that night has bared
To slake man's wild Desire.
Now were full night but for the snow,
Blind dark but for the frost.
The ribs and roots of trees are heaped
With new-fall'n leaves of white;
And burning-white sparks make a glow
Wherein all's lost
But rutted path and beech-roots, steeped
In frozen foam of light.
