The morning broke without a sun;
In tiny spherule traced with lines
Of Nature’s geometric signs,
In starry flake, and pellicle,
All day the hoary meteor fell;
And, when the second morning shone,
We looked upon a world unknown,
On nothing we could call our own.
Around the glistening wonder bent
The blue walls of the firmament,
No cloud above, no earth below,—
A universe of sky and snow!”
~ John Greenleaf Whittier
…oh how I like this!
Molly,
Fabulous photo! The poem that accompanied it fit the mood purrfectly. Have a good day and blessed new year! Join me for not-so-Wordless Wednesday!
I love the image and the words that go with it. All the best for 2018 and your next 365!
Gorgeous! Happy New Year!
beautiful winter shot. I love this kind of “lone tree shots” fine to ad a couple of people on it 🙂
