December Snowby William Belcher Glazier : : : : Fall thickly on the rose-bush,O faintly falling snow!For she is gone who trained its branch,And wooed its bud to blow.Cover the well-known path-way,O damp December snow,Her step no longer lingers there,When stars begin to glow.Melt in the rapid river,O cold and cheerless snow!She sees no moreContinue reading “December Snow : William Belcher Glazier : : December Poems : : Months Poems : :”

The trees stand bare, and bare each stony scar Upon the cliffs; half frozen glide the rills;TheContinue reading “December : Christopher Pearce Cranch : : December Poems : : Months Poems : :”
