    These Winter nights against my window-pane
    Nature with busy pencil draws designs
    Of ferns and blossoms and fine spray of pines,
    Oak-leaf and acorn and fantastic vines,
    Which she will make when summer comes again--
    Quaint arabesques in argent, flat and cold,
    Like curious Chinese etchings.

Is studded with its trembling water-drops,
That glimmer with an amethystine light.

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long ago.
