*bitter: English colloquialism meaning very cold.
spring blooms lost in deep snowdrifts black ice roads mark highest peaks shared coats and tea in old flasks child builds snowman in a lee night closing in on mountain cold is seeping into bones spare layers of clothes shared out prejudices not valid morning broken by weak sun its beauty lost on the group stranded in bitter landscape amongst friends of all races in shorts and sturdy jacket farmhand comes to the rescue trek through green valley and dale assist weekend bushwhackers to some it was a photo in local rag or on phone the essence was lost on most of people stranded in peace
