  1. Timid Star
  Fields beneath a quilt of snow
  From which the rocks and stubble peep,
  And in the west a shy white star
  That shivers as it wakes from sleep.
  Sara Teasdale

  2. A Winter Dawn
  Above the marge of night a star still shines,
  And on the frosty hills the somber pines
  Harbour an eerie wind that crooneth low
  Over the glimmering wastes of virgin snow.
  Through the pale arch of orient the moon
  Comes in a milk-white splendor newly-born,
  A sword of crimson cuts in twain the gray
  Banners of the shadow hosts, and low, the day!
  Lucy Maud Montgomery

  4. A Winter Day
  Wide, sparkling fields snow-vestured lie
  Beneath a blue, unshadowed sky,
  A glistening splendor crowns the woods
  And bosky, whistling solitudes;
  In hemlock glen and reedy mere
  The tang of frost is sharp and clear;
  Life hath a jollity and zest,
  A poignancy made manifest;
  Laughter and courage have their way
  At noontide of a winter’s day.
  Faint music rings in wold and dell,
  The tinkling of a distant bell,
  Where homestead lights with friendly glow
  Glimmer across the drifted snow.
  Lucy Maud Montgomery
