First Line: Hail, january, that bearest here
Last Line: Thy feet enkindle stars of snow.
Subject(s): January; Seasons; Snow
HAIL, January, that bearest here
On snowbright breasts the babe-faced year
That weeps and trembles to be born.
Hail, maid and mother, strong and bright,
Hooded and cloaked and shod with white,
Whose eyes are stars that match the morn
Thy forehead braves the storm's bent bow,
Thy feet enkindle stars of snow.
