Winter's bridal veil of white <br />Stubbornly persists. <br />Snow blossoms linger sadly, <br />Heads drooping. <br />The sun in glowing splendor <br />Laughs at winter's follly... <br />Spills her warmth to set aside <br />Winter's chill, whose frozen tears <br />Course slowly down my windowpane. <br />I press my nose against the mixture <br />Of cold and dancing sunbeams. <br />It is the changing of the guard, <br />I watch winter go.<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-winter-goes/
