As snow upon the evergreen
paints every bough a pearly white, each crystal sparkles clear and clean when struck by shafts of winter light. What other landscape seems so bright as snow upon the evergreen or brings the soul such sheer delight as found within this tranquil scene? Unspoiled and spotless, so pristine, this peaceful world seems pure and right as snow upon the evergreen falls softly down to end its flight. As still of day turns silent night, I know that I have never seen more radiant or calm a sight as snow upon the evergreen. |
