A Winter Piece
by William Cullen Bryant
Come when the rains
Have glazed the snow and clothed the trees with ice,
While the slant sun of February pours
Into the bowers, a flood of light. Approach!
The incrusted surface shall upbear thy steps
And the broad arching portals of the grove
Welcome thy entering.

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
