That year the autumn season late + 

Kept lingering on as loath to go, + 

All Nature winter seemed to await, + 

Till January fell no snow⁠— + 

The third at night. Tattiana wakes + 

Betimes, and sees, when morning breaks, + 

Park, garden, palings, yard below + 

And roofs near morn blanched o’er with snow; + 

Upon the windows tracery, + 

The trees in silvery array, + 

Down in the courtyard magpies gay, + 

And the far mountains daintily + 

O’erspread with Winter’s carpet bright, + 

All so distinct, and all so white! + 
