Gardener's Pastimes in January

It snowed and snowed, the whole world over, Snow swept the world from end to end.
A candle burned on the table; A candle burned. 
Boris Pasternak, Dr. Zhivago

Jack Frost

The door was shut, as doors should be,
Before you went to bed last night;
Yet Jack Frost has got in, you see,
And left your window silver white.
He must have waited till you slept;
And not a single word he spoke,
But penciled o'er the panes and crept
Away again before you woke.
And now you cannot see the hills
Nor fields that stretch beyond the lane;
But there are fairer things than these
His fingers traced on every pane.

-Gabriel Setoun, Jack Frost
