sensibly lengthened by light
reflected from snow.

edge of the birches.
That feeble cheep, like
tinkling of an icicle, --
a call to their mates.

when perched this cold windy day --
all puffed up for warmth.

A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau
"A book, each page written in its own season,
out-of-doors, in its own locality.”
