Winter Wonderland
I woke up early one cold winter's morn; *
A ray of light had roused me from my sleep,
And gazing at the rose-pink blush of dawn
My eyes excitedly began to sweep
Across the frosted landscape to the deep
Soft bed of snow on fields and hillside steep.
The world had been transformed beyond compare.
A pristine blanket clothed the frozen ground.
As sunlight filtered through the frosty air
Such dazzling brightness shimmered all around.
Soft flurries of light snow fell without sound
And silhouettes with crystal glace were crowned.
A child-like joy embraced my ageing heart
To see this winter wonderland unfold.
A spectacle of such majestic art
Its silver sheen more dazzling still than gold.
A stunning transformation to behold
Of origin divine and imprint bold.
And though now frail, come morning light I planned
To take a little walk through virgin land.
*(Please note that in British English, ‘morn’ and ‘dawn’ are a perfect rhyme)
