Cold now is the breezes' breath Covered is the ground with snow; And in maple forests Sugar campfires glow. Like jewels from trees and cliffs Icicles hang a-glittering, And the little snow-birds are Merrily a-twittering. Above the earth so brown and cold, And 'bove the snow so white, The crocus now opens Their golden petals bright. Cold and windy February, We're glad that you are here; For you bring Valentine Day, We love so well and dear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FATHER LAND AND MOTHER TONGUE by SAMUEL LOVER THE CROSS; TO THE MOTHERS OF THE MARTYRED DEAD UPON FIELD OF BATTLE by JOSEPHINE TURCK BAKER CLIO, NINE ECLOGUES IN HONOUR OF NINE VIRTUES: APOLOGY TO CLEO by WILLIAM BASSE THE TITANIC by KATHARINE LEE BATES FRAGMENTS INTENDED FOR DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: HUMAN LIFE - ITS VALUE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES TO ONE ON HER BIRTHDAY (2) by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT MUSIC TO ME by ADELE SHAW BOONE |
