Snow Day

I gaze out of my window and I see Like shredded wings of angels in distress The snow is falling, in enormous flakes! An hour of gentle snow is all it takes To clothe my garden in her wedding dress. I love the snow when it is deep and fresh! It renders clear the shouts of children’s play Now ev'rything is shining, clean and white. Snow deadens all the din of normal life … And yet I’m glad to see it melt away!
