NEW SNOW
A new snow lies on earth's dark
breast
Like the touch of a hand, or a soft
caress,
Erasing the flurry-worry lines
And leaving the cares of her days
behind.
Night brought her blankets of
fleeces and lace
Tucking them gently round earth's
sweet face.
Edith Bellamy Browning
AT MY WINDOW
I wonder today how Earth can be
Sparklingly lovely as a huge
Christmas tree.
The very spirit of beauty Is every
where Angels are tripping the golden
stair.
Rhythm of summer is here. too.
While rich cloud blankets add a
subtle hue.
Misty gay willow trees make me
believe
In fairies and elves and all of
these.
I wonder today how Earth can be
Sparklingly lovely as a huge
Christmas tree.
