First Snowfall

Hoping your holidays find you in the company of those you love.

 THE FIRST SNOWFALL

"The snow had begun in the gloaming, And busily all the night Had been heaping field and highway With a silence deep and white. Every pine and fir and hemlock Wore ermine too dear for an earl, And the poorest twig on the elm-tree Was ridged inch-deep with pearl."
