Winter Night
Winter Night
It snowed and snowed, the whole world over,Snow swept the world from end to end.
A candle burned on the table;
A candle burned.
As during summer midges swarm
To beat their wings against a flame
Out in the yard the snowflakes swarmed
To beat against the window pane.
---Boris Pasternak
And in the morning...
