The beauty of a winter scene <br /> that’s limned in simple black and white, <br /> with here and there an evergreen. <br />To me a source of sheer delight. <br />Although I love the autumn hues <br /> which recently were on display. <br />Replaced by austere winter views <br /> I see the world a different way. <br /> A pleasure to an artist’s eye, <br /> although a limited palette. <br />I see no earthly reason why. <br />When spring arrives we should forget. <br />The winter beauty we have seen <br /> because the trees are turning green.<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/simole-elegance-for-m-lady-tara/
