Inside Verse:Wishing many "drop in" visitors for you this holiday!
Back Poem: Winter
"A wrinkled, crabbed man they picture thee, Old Winter, With a rugged beard as grey as the long moss upon the apple-tree; Blue lips, an ice-drop at thy sharp blue nose; Close muffled up, and on thy dreary way, Plodding alone through sleet and drifting snows. They should have drawn thee by the high heat hearth, Old Winter! Seated in thy great armed chair, watching the children at their Christmas mirth, Or circled by the, as thy lips declare some merry jest, or tale of murder dire, Or troubled spirit that disturbs the night, Pausing at times to rouse the smoldering fire, Or taste the old October brown and bright."
-by Robert Southey, (1774-1843 )
