WINTER FANTASY, by ADELE BABBITT First Line: Miss hoar frost is a dainty maid Last Line: And ends the revel of the night. | |||
Miss Hoar Frost is a dainty maid, Adorned for nature's masquerade. Her swirling gown of white, Festooned with jewels to catch the light, She fashions in the deep of night. The gems of fiery dye, That on her snowy bosom lie, She borrows from the starry sky. Her cloak of filmy lace, By icy crystal held in place, She drapes with artistry and grace. In all her bright array, And fearful of the coming day She swings into a mad ballet. Her feet so airy free, Leave footprints on each bush and tree That wrap the world in fantasy. The Sun appears with gleeful spite And ends the revel of the night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POOR DEVIL! by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET TO BE LIKED BY YOU WOULD BE A CALAMITY by MARIANNE MOORE THE THRUSH'S NEST by JOHN CLARE CHARACTERS: ELIZABETH RIGBY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ACHIEVEMENT by MORRIS ABEL BEER MY BALD HEAD by PIERRE JEAN DE BERANGER |
