Helen Hunt Quotes
Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.

Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will.

And willow stems grow daily red and bright.

Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will.
