The naked trees have been covered, <br />By crystals of sparkling white, <br />A brilliant display of dancing, <br />In the moonbeams shimmering light, <br /> <br />The sunlight shines so quietly, <br />On the tinsel of snow and ice, <br />As if touched by the wand of a fairy, <br />A pleasing enchantment so nice. <br /> <br />Biting wind assaults my senses, <br />Fluffed up against northerly blow, <br />Just like the Robin in winter, <br />Searching for scraps in the snow, <br /> <br />I walk back to my home on wheels, <br />Nestled in the shelter of the tree, <br />Glad of Matilda, how cosy she feels, <br />While the owl hunts and hoots in the dark free.<br /><br />Anthony Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/snow-has-fallen-in-the-new-forest/
