Winter |
It was a winter such as when birds die |
In the deep forests; |
and the fishes lie |
Stiffened in the translucent ice, which makes |
Even the mud and slime of the warm lakes |
A wrinkled clod as hard as brick; |
and when |
Among their children, comfortable men |
Gather about great fires, and yet feel cold |
Alas then for the homeless beggar old |
