The Snow-Blossoms

    But yestereve the winter trees
    Reared leafless, blackly bare,
    Their twigs and branches poignant-marked
    Upon the sunset-flare.

    White-petaled, opens now the dawn,
    And in its pallid glow,
    Revealed, each leaf-lorn, barren tree
    Stands white with flowers of snow.
