      He will not see me stopping here
      To watch his woods fill up with snow.
    • My little horse must think it queer
      To stop without a farmhouse near
      Between the woods and frozen lake
      The darkest evening of the year.
    • He gives his harness bells a shake
      To ask if there is some mistake.
      The only other sound's the sweep
      Of easy wind and downy flake.
    • The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
      But I have promises to keep,
      And miles to go before I sleep.
      And miles to go before I sleep.
    Lovely X Runner, nearly popped this one up myself!

    another lovely one from frost.....

    A Patch Of Old Snow
    Robert Frost

    There's a patch of old snow in a corner
    That I should have guessed
    Was a blow-away paper the rain
    Had brought to rest.

    It is speckled with grime as if
    Small print overspread it,
    The news of a day I've forgotten--
    If I ever read it.

    It was from The New oxford Book of English Verse 1250- 1950. I think it is lovely.

    That's brilliant. Those steroids make some bits bigger and other parts smaller mind you! I must find a spare pair of socks to stuff down me keks.

    Some more snowy stuff this time from Philip Larkin

    Morning at last:there in the snow

    Morning at last: there in the snow
    Your small footprints come and go.
    Night has left no more to show,

    Not the candle, half drunk wine,
    Or touching joy; only this sign
    Of your life walking into mine.

    But when they vanish with the rain
    What morning woke to will remain,
    Whether as happiness or pain.

    Yes...especially as it is

    "tender and slightly sweet, with a light texture and attractive shape..."

    not that I am a big fat narcissist like!

    This is lovely Neil, I have just come back from a very snowy walk with the family...so this was quite fitting!
