Each tree is armored in ice. Each street Is tiled with a rich and burnished sleet. Hedges blazon their magic powers In efforescence of glassy flowers. A wicket fence in strangest guise Offers a crystal exercise. Shingled with brilliant and opaque light Roof-tops are alabastered bright. Telegraph poles on every side Are huge stalagmites that flash their pride. Enchantment everywhere lights its spells In all the glittering icicles. . . . Till passersby are bowed down under Dazzle of all the opal wonder Of such a newly discovered floral Lost Atlantis of crystal and coral! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NURSING HOME: THE DOLL by KAREN SWENSON BRUCE AND THE SPIDER by BERNARD BARTON LACK OF STEADFASTNESS; BALLAD by GEOFFREY CHAUCER A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SUNG TO THE KING IN THE PRESENCE AT WHITEHALL by ROBERT HERRICK |
