I AM the Frost. I'll show you diamonds, laces and tapestries Of all variety at lowest cost; Weavings of chaste design Perfect in every line; Connoisseurs surely will buy of the Frost. I am the Dew. Notice my elegant bracelets and necklaces, All of rare quality; pearls not a few; Emerald and amethyst; Opal all rainbow kissed; Ladies rise early to buy of the Dew. I am the Snow. Let me display for you carpets most exquisite. Choicest of bordering also I show, Heavy and soft and white, Spread in a single night; Folk who have wisdom will buy of the Snow. I am the Rain. Something I'll show you priceless and wonderful, Making these offers seem tawdry and vain! 'Tis but a cloak of grey— Wrapping the world away— Happy the few who will buy of the Rain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NO MATTER WHAT, AFTER ALL, AND THAT BEAUTIFUL WORD SO by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE LAST MAN'S CLUB by JAMES GALVIN HEGIRA by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WOMAN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SHE WEEPS OVER RAHOON by JAMES JOYCE THE BOOK OF STONES AND LILIES by AMY LOWELL BACCALAUREATE by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH |
