Ethelwyn Wetheral - Frost
(1857 - 1940) Rockwood, On

FROST

When the sun is growing weaker,
and his look is meek and meeker
Comes the frost - the pale betrayer,
Light of foot a stealthy slayer.

In the night abroad he stealeth
for each trembling leaf he feelth
Something softening its pleading
kills it not but leaves it bleeding.
