A quiet scene on a peaceful day
Still nothing to mar the quiet, I say
No wind or animals at play -
And then, while everything is still
A hushed, soft sound the silence fills
The air - what can it be?
I search the trees - I have to see...
I looked about the scenes of white
To find the sound, to catch the sight!
I caught the snow taking a sudden spill!
For the gentle sway of a wire will
Oft shake the snow quite suddenly!
Some snow has dropped upon a tree
To cause a burst on a branch of snow!
‘Tis like a snowy cross near center left in white;
Looking on to guard the falling snow
The tree stands a sentinary guard in the rear, near right.
