Sounds of the Winter + 

Sounds of the winter too, + 

Sunshine upon the mountains⁠—many a distant strain + 

From cheery railroad train⁠—from nearer field, barn, house, + 

The whispering air⁠—even the mute crops, garner’d apples, corn, + 

Children’s and women’s tones⁠—rhythm of many a farmer and of flail, + 

An old man’s garrulous lips among the rest, Think not we give out yet, + 

Forth from these snowy hairs we keep up yet the lilt. + 
