WINTER'S SNOW, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS First Line: Soft clinging robe of purest white Last Line: Beneath the sun of day. Subject(s): Seasons; Silence; Snow; White (color); Winter | |||
Soft clinging robe of purest white That Winter wove and spun From snowflakes softly as they fell In silence one by one:— Far flung the mantle fluttered down To earth without a sound, And there in wondrous purity It rested on the ground. Festooned on tree and shrub it hung As if to beautify And lend enchantment to the scene, To fascinate the eye,— Gleaming with silver sheen at night As 'neath the moon it lay, With scintillating diamond light Beneath the sun of day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!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 A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND ANTHEM by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS |
