An overnight wonderland <br />Has coated my windowpane <br />Frostily, flakily white. <br /> <br />So rarely enjoyed in rain- <br />Sodden sea garden place <br />This soft flossy snow I lightly <br />Pace and experience before <br />Noonday thaw. A vast virgin <br />Blanket I must mark and stamp <br />With happy delight urging <br />To more, then bending, rolling <br />And gath'ring round heads I <br />Recall fond mem'ries with glee. <br />Tray-gliding, snowsliding, eyes <br />For white statue-men. This being <br />Ten again's appealing to me.!<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-white-fall/
