Winter Maids

     Winter Maids

The twilight lingers in the sky
as foliage turns to dusky eaves,
in silence spreads befogging spry,
a quilt of white, his mind deceives.

Thus, sleep enfolds the white surrounds,
this time of dusk that forwards lies,
the aptitude of night abounds,
whate'er has leaned on skylight, dies.

The drizzle drops upon his scripts
as street lights blink their yellow tears,
the winter maids have sealed their lips
to glide on frozen lake frontiers.

Amid the snowflakes laugh and cry
while silent snow forever falls,
so picturesque in dusk and wry
defies in woods its voice and calls.

Uncounted drops in darkness blend,
conceived answers drift and rule,
lighthearted laughs in air extend
inside the snow's betrothing tulle.
