A Frosty Day Lord De Tabley Grass afield wears silver thatch; Palings all are edged with rime; Frost-flowers pattern round the latch; Cloud nor breeze dissolve the chime; When the waves are solid floor, And the clods are iron-bound, And the boughs are crystall's hoar, And the red leaf nailed a-ground. When the fieldfare's flight is slow, And a rosy vapour rim, Now the sun is small and low, Belts along the region dim. When the ice-crack flies and flaws, Shore to shore, with thunder shock, Deeper than the evening daws, Clearer than the village clock. When the rusty blackbird strips, Bunch by bunch, the coral thorn, And the pale day-crescent dips, Now the heaven, a slender horn. it’s not just music, it’s Blue Dot Music.
