Snow on Snow



In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long ago.


Christina Rossetti * 1830 - 1894

Sled:  by my mom who loved to paint

  1. Oh how I love that poem and I love to hear Sarah M. sing it. How's that for avoiding spelling her last name? Have a happy day, LaDonna!

  6. What a cute little sled! I have a sweet one, too - I'll be right over and we can catch the next hill for some sledding fun! ~Adrienne~
