WINTER, by                    
First Line: All the roads are lost
Last Line: And pecks his breast and side.
Subject(s): Winter


All the roads are lost,
Vanished under snows,
Only a blind man goes
Through the shuddering frost.

And in meagre grey
Stand the nun-like trees,
Penitents whose knees
Tremble as they pray.

Once more crucified,
The naked Christ hangs here,
A hungry crow flies near
And pecks His breast and side.
