My Commonplace Book... Poem: Snow Flowers by Minnie Irving

Snow Flowers

I awoke one winter morning,

and I found my garden white.

With a host of shining blossoms,

That had not been there at night;

All the barren ground was covered,

And the naked branches, quiet.

For the angels, in the night-time,

Flying softly to and fro,

Bearing to the gates of Heaven,

Spirits from the Earth below,

Had let fall upon my garden,

Lovely garlands - flowers of snow.
