Subject(s): Snow
The snow falls like ghost-stars and lights the pines
With a pale luminosity that sheds
A radiance over the quiet woods.
It clings to the fringed branches with fingers
Soft as silence. No life nor any sound
Disturbs the scene, only the falling stars
Of snow, weaving a thick, warm, white blanket
To spread over the cold arms of the trees,
Outstretched as if to hold back the crouching
Darkness of the night; the frozen crystals
Glow calmly, without substance or shadow,
Until a white shroud blots out the landscape.
