Last Line: For tree, and man, and bird, and beast.
Subject(s): Winter
A winter tree, and a lone crow crying....
Do they not know the winter's dying?
Dear smitten things of field and wood,
Keep your highborn fortitude
A few more days, for signs are here
That succor, sustenance is near;
The trackless alabaster plain
Will crumble in an April rain;
And Earth will spread a sumptuous feast
For tree, and man, and bird, and beast.
