First Line: Pale fog, with sunshine showing through
Last Line: So that I may wander where only fog can go.
Subject(s): January; Winter


Pale fog, with sunshine showing through,
Gleaming like a moonstone, hung with drops of dew.

Pale fog, that no one loves but me,
Making silver shadow out of every tree.

Take me and shape me into a wisp as well,
Crown me with small globes of light, water turned to pearl.

Hang me with these jewels, matching those of snow,
So that I may wander where only fog can go.
