Notes About The Poem

Snowy Winter Nights


When fall departs and winter's on its way,
our minds are set to face a colder clime;
the days get shorter, evenings quickly gray,
and winter storms will visit us in time.

Inside, from warm, embracing beds at night,
we watch flakes fall beneath the silver moon.
Such tranquil scenes outside glow in its light
where satin banks of snow and sky commune.

Protected, safe from winter's icy blow,
as gusty winds make snowflakes swirl and fall,
we'll drift to sleep lulled softly by moonglow
and swaying tree limb shadows on the wall.

How lovely are these winter late-night scenes-
that feed our sleep to make for peaceful dreams.
