Winter Time

Kaique Rocha (2020)

Before the stars have left the skies,

At morning in the dark I rise;   

And shivering in my nakedness,   

By the cold candle, bathe and dress.  

-Robert Louis Stevenson

Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,   

A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;   

Blinks but an hour or two; and then,   

A blood-red orange, sets again.

Riccardo Bresciani (2020)

Before the stars have left the skies,

At morning in the dark I rise;   

And shivering in my nakedness,   

By the cold candle, bathe and dress.  

Postmans (2020)

Eberhard Grossgaster (2020)

Close by the jolly fire I sit   

To warm my frozen bones a bit;

Or with a reindeer-sled, explore   

The colder countries round the door.   

Pilie Kirsi (2020)

   When to go out, my nurse doth wrap   

Me in my comforter and cap;   

The cold wind burns my face, and blows

Its frosty pepper up my nose.   

Jayden Burdick (2020)

   

Black are my steps on silver sod;   

Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;   

And tree and house, and hill and lake,   

Are frosted like a wedding-cake.
