WINTER PRELUDE, by                    
First Line: The smoky wind, raw throated, blows
Last Line: I never heard in june.
Subject(s): Winter


The smoky wind, raw throated, blows
A harsher note, with sterner spite;
The acorn stains the squirrel's nose,
The bee planes home in solo flight.

So silent is the shadowed wood,
A quail call echoes in the sky;
I know a startling interlude
When a wing opens and brushes by.

Yet in this solitary place
I hear deep voices sound a tune
That in the long and far-off days,
I never heard in June.
