by William Carlos Williams (1883 - 1963)
Winter
Language: English
Now the snow lies on the ground and more snow is descending upon it— Patches of red dirt hold together the old snow patches This is winter— rosettes of leather-green leaves by the old fence and bare trees marking the sky— This is winter winter, winter leather-green leaves spearshaped in the falling snow
