by Clark Ashton Smith (1893 - 1961)

Language: English 
But yestereve the winter trees
Reared leafless, blackly bare,
Their twigs and branches poignant-marked
Upon the sunset-flare.

White-petaled, opens now the dawn,
And in its pallid glow,
Revealed, each leaf-lorn, barren tree
Stands white with flowers of snow.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "The Snow-Blossoms", 2009 [ medium voice and piano ]
