ICE A world encased in ice, A glittering crystal world, Extends around me. During the night, Fine, freezing rain drifted Down, and on this mid-January Morning the rising sun highlights Gray birches burdened with ice and Bending low, snowdrifts Armorplated with glaring Crusts, stone walls sheathed In smooth, transparent shells.
