When frost lays its icy hand <br />Upon the greeness of the land <br />Pools transformed over night <br />Countryside, a crystal white <br /> <br />When winter chill doth blow his breath <br />Holding the world in icy grip <br />Silent stillness all around <br />Snow falling softly on the ground. <br /> <br />Laughing children in the snow <br />Youthful faces all aglow <br />World transformed, magic sight, <br />In their beds, sleep well tonight<br /><br />Joseph Enright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winter-67/
