The Snowy Vale

Barren white
The snowy vale
'Neath the moon tonight
A quiet pale
Flecked with shimmering ice
Dancing in beams of silver light

The cold winds blew
Snow gathered 'round a lonely yew
I watched the winter sun onward rise
A distant grove aglitter dazed my eyes
As the golden morning gave chase to cloud
That lay atop boulder and bush
A white ghostly shroud—
I listened to the snow crush
'Neath each step
As I crept
Thro' snowy silence
Ring aloud
