A QUIET WINTER MORNING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Here peace and quiet reign in undisturbed dominion
Last Line: And gentle winds of spring and summer.
Subject(s): Grief; Peace; Winter; Sorrow; Sadness


HERE peace and quiet reign in undisturbed dominion,
Tho skies are gray and distant pines stand sadly still.
No birdling fills the air with song: on guarded pinion,
Or parts the ether in its flight to find the will
Of spring. The snows are waiting for the melting rain
Or sun, and chill awhile the air which does not stir,
And waiting for the better days to come again,
When hearts throw off their sorrows in the dulcimer
And gentle winds of spring and summer.
