This Side of the Snow...

10/19/2018

Besides the Autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the Haze -
Picture
A few incisive mornings -  
​A few Ascetic eves -
Gone - Mr Bryant’s “Golden Rod” -
And Mr Thomson’s “sheaves.”
Picture
Still, is the bustle in the brook -
Sealed are the spicy valves -
Mesmeric fingers softly touch
​ The eyes of many Elves -
Picture
Perhaps a squirrel may remain -
My sentiments to share -
Grant me, Oh Lord, a sunny mind-
​ Thy windy will to bear!
                                                ~Emily Dickinson

Great photos to accompany the poetry. What mountain is that?

That is Mt. Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine. 😊

Great words and images. I keep thinking that you live in Wisconsin.

Haha, that's alright. We actually did live in WI for about a year and a half before moving here.
