EARLY SNOW by GLADYS CROMWELL

First Line: ABOVE THE FOREST LINE
Last Line: DIVINED THE LAW OF CHANGE.
Subject(s): AUTUMN; CHANGE; SEASONS; WINTER; FALL;

ABOVE the forest line
There's been a fall of snow
At variance with autumn's ray;
Yet trees, the color of wine,
Whispered hours ago:
"Frost is on the way."

Oh, past our narrow view,
There comes a drift of Death,
To love, anomalous and strange;
Yet whispering poets knew:
They marked the dying breath,
Divined the law of change.
