JANUARY, by EFFIE WALLER SMITH Poet's Biography First Line: Beneath the leaden skies Last Line: All the livelong day. Subject(s): January; Winter | ||||||||
Beneath the leaden skies Old Mother Earth now lies Wrapped in a cloud of white; Trees once clothed in hosts Of leaves, now stand like ghosts: Each one in snow bedight. On the ice, smooth and glassy, The merry lad and lassie Are skating to and fro; Or down the steep hillside With sleds they gaily glide Over the smooth white snow. The little snow-birds brown -- Feathered warblers of renown -- So blithe and bright and gay; Flit about merrily, Twittering loud and cheerily All the livelong day. | Other Poems of Interest...LOOKING EAST IN THE WINTER by JOHN HOLLANDER WINTER DISTANCES by FANNY HOWE WINTER FORECAST by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN AT WINTER'S EDGE by JUDY JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE |
