ICE STORM, by                    
First Line: Winter is in no happy mood today
Last Line: To build a wondrous fairyland of ice.
Subject(s): Ice; Storms; Winter


Winter is in no happy mood today.
The sky is cold and sullen, leaden gray,
The icy rain falls at a sad, slow pace
Like tears unheeded on a woman's face
And every stem and twig this frozen mood doth borrow,
Bowed down as if by weight of sudden, bitter sorrow.

Yes, hope may die, by grief's assassins slain,
Yet doubt not that the sun will shine in joy again
Nor that its first bright beam will then suffice
To build a wondrous fairyland of ice.
