Have you seen a blue jay flash through a snowstorm?
Have you seen the red-flecked head of a woodpecker
In snow-trimmed trees?
Have you seen dark sledges of felled tree-trunks
Drawn by steaming horses,
When the woodman takes an axe
And breaks open the frozen water for them,
And they drink at the trough?
I have.
And I have seen an antlered stag
Move slowly across the sloping field
Till the snowflakes gathered around him,
And I could see nothing but snow.
