Poetry Monday


The Wintry Mind

by Witter Bynner
                       
Winter uncovers distances, I find;
And so the cold and so the wintry mind
Takes leaves away, till there is left behind
A wide cold world. And so the heart grows blind
To the earth’s green motions lying warm below
Field upon field, field upon field, of snow.
