Snow And Rain
I have watched
and felt
both snow and rain
shaken
from bough
of tree limbs,
desired to linger
longer to watch
'Silent and soft and slow'
the first snow fall
as a new mantle
'Descends the snow'.
I wonder
if Longfellow
faced the same
dilemma,
the onset
of encroaching dark
or a possible
turn in the weather,
may necessitate
but the glimpse
with long hours
of hard hiking left
before
the days
journey
is over.
