Last Rites

 

Like an old soldier donning old armor,

The trees are again greaved with white,

Frosty, in serried ranks, undaunted,

Soldiering into the gathering night.

 

Like an old fashion come back into fashion,

The smug snow lies on roof and spire;

It’s a good time for a last blast of winter,

And a good night for a grateful fire.
