Observing the Fall of Winter's Eve

From vaults beyond the human eye
In silver chivalry
Snowflakes tumble from the sky
Like un-rhymed poetry

Beyond the glowing fireside
Twilight transforms earth’s hue
As sparkling sweeps of argent tide
Deepen to icy blue

The wind has teeth, its biting chill
Tugs weary laborer’s home
As visions of warmth and goodwill
Cheer tired feet along

The earth, a dazzling avenue
Beneath a jeweled sky
Enthrones the dream of summer blue
And wind-song lullaby

From vaults beyond daylight subdued
The winter twilight falls
To wrap the world in solitude
And winters frigid shawl
