Winter Dusk

Topics: classic

The prospect is bare and white,         And the air is crisp and chill;     While the ebon wings of night         Are spread on the distant hill.     The roar of the stormy sea         Seem the dirges shrill and sharp     That winter plays on the tree -         His wild olian harp.     In the pool that darkly creeps         In ripples before the gale,     A star like a lily sleeps         And wiggles its silver tail.                         R. K. Munkittrick.
