Winter Poem

The Snow That Never Drifts

The snow that never drifts
the transient, fragrant snow
That comes single time a Year
is softly drifting now--

So thorough in the Tree
At night beneath the star
That it was February's Foot
Experience would swear

Like Winter has a face
We stern and former knew
Repaired all but Loneliness
By Nature's Alibit

Where every storm so spice
That value could not be--
We buy with contrast-- Pang is good
As near as memory--

By Emily Dickinson
