The Snow that never drifts -
The transient, fragrant snow
That comes a single time a Year
Is softly driving now -
So thorough in the Tree
At night beneath the star
That it was February's Foot
Experience would swear -
Like Winter as a Face
We stern and former knew
Repaired of all but Loneliness
By Nature's Alibit -
Were every storm so spice
The Value could not be -
We buy with contrast - Pang is good
As near as memory -
More verses by Emily Dickinson
- Out Of Sight? What Of That?
- The Zeroes—taught Us—phosphorous
- We Miss Her, Not Because We See
- The Spirit Is The Conscious Ear
- Jesus! Thy Crucifix
