On a wintry morn....

Bloom where you are planted

It gets into all the machines
and freezes up the works,
it coats the sidewalks and front steps,
and slipping on it hurts.

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though...

‘Tis but the FROST that clears the air,
And gives the sky that lovely blue;
They’re smiling in a WINTER’S sun,
Those evergreens of sombre hue.

I leant upon a coppice gate,
When Frost was spectre-gray,
And Winter’s dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sought their household fires…

They’re all out shopping,
Fighting and buying, stressing.
I’m home, warm, happy.

Such precious gemstones
Morning dew shines like diamonds
God’s tears from heaven
