Excerpt from Forgotten Shrines As white as lyric joy, the new snows lie Soothing the silver brook's stilled witchery, Masking the dreaming, brooding wilderness. The wind has caught into its cool caress The outlines of the hills, and all the sky Swirls with a mingled veil of purity, As angeled, high white heaven stoops to bless.
