Snow

By Leone Kelley


THE GREY sky bent above us—
It seemed so little,
The earth.
Like a very distant village trio
Of almost forgotten years,	5
The trees sang.
Then,
As a lone white rose,
That stays its complete departure
And leaf by leaf goes straying—	10
Came, as from a greater beauty,
Hidden in the grey, bending sky,
Snow.
