Explore "Winter Twilight" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Along the wintry skyline, / Crowning the rocky crest, / Stands the bare screen of hardwood trees / Against the saffron west, -- / Its gray and purple network / Of branching tracery / Outspread upon the lucent air, / Like weed within the sea.
The scarlet robe of autumn / Renounced and put away, / The mystic Earth is fairer still, -- / A Puritan in gray. / The spirit of the winter, / How tender, how austere! / Yet all the ardor of the spring / And summer's dream are here.
